Moth: Plain truth, so if you feel healthy, you'd better not)))

Here ka it looks in ideale.http: //catalogue.gazette-drouot.com/visitesdesalles/visite.jsp

Komissionki - it was good. Very rarely you can go to sites like AUKRO section antiques (in the painting are categorically not advise - to spoil your taste at once), but it is only later, when read a book (can somehow navigate), because there are a lot of nonsense.
Typically, these gatherings are closed and all know each other already. But the flea market - open. Here and there you can meet those who will eventually lead you to a private event. The only piece of advice: if you are interested in simply as a "fad" - it is better not to go. This is a terrible thing if one day "hooked", no longer be cured. Me all the time my grandfather said: "Look carefully, would delay ..." And to me, except: "It has long been delayed. It's too late - he had nothing to answer :)

I think you can remember this great collector. I do not know whether he was a connoisseur who knows how to correctly distinguish the original from a fake (probably not), but the fact that this man was truly in love with the art, can not be doubted:

so what there really fashion .. all familiar "modnyavye" commemorating the altar "Glamour" far from "dusty old".
From childhood I have been most needed grandmother's chest :)
delay can be anything you want. I think so, just decided to ask here, then in some way been "prolonged" ..

As one friend of the psychiatrist: "Collecting - is a form of schizophrenia ..." I am sick about this for 40 years ...

Added after 6 minutes
Gatherings just open, but their share acquisitions usually face-to-em .. with close druzmi.Da and decent thing to universal screening can not stand ...

It is curious that the topic of "special on antikvraiatu" slipped on "Collecting". This course sets intersect, but it seems to me, no more than 20-30%. In many cases, a thorough knowledge of "their" subject matter (and even love for him) does not imply a collectible, or shall we say, deliberate self-employed as a collectible. Such professionals can fold collection, but simply by virtue of training the subject. Therefore, as a not very clear what needs to be questioning babochka?

all that I need, I get the full :)

You are right that you do not collect, knowing the subject and vice versa. probably very few people held (knowing the subject). but how do you know the subject? Thank IV, revered as the man, "grew up" and what has come, loving the art .. I have a lot of questions, and asked me just one.
I think everything about what it says here can be (and is) useful in both of the cases among themselves (and not only).

"Zamkadyshi" - it's good!)))
but if I understood correctly, babochka lives in Riga ..
to begin to focus on than one, in my opinion, is not correct ..
Internet often gives misleading information, so it's all the same as you find the time and money on some lectures .. You can search for museums, auction houses do not necessarily ..

I'm not talking about the rallies, but about the rallies. Gatherings are open to the whole world, they are big, and rallies for the "members" or something like that. But the gatherings for many years as had begun to lose its relevance. Appeared online.
