Antique Trader Subscriber Alert
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
 Please be aware that there are some unauthorized magazine agencies that
may attempt to solicit your renewal subscription to Antique Trader
magazine either through the mail or by telephone. They operate under
several different names and request that payment be sent directly to
them.
Be sure to renew your subscription only through one of our mailed
notices. These notices bear the Antique Trader logo and ask that
payment be made to Antique Trader and sent to our Subscription
Processing Center in Palm Coast, FL. Any request for payment made out
to someone else or sent to a different address is likely fraudulent.

M.S. Rau's new blog
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
M.S. Rau Antiques has been in New Orleans' French Quarter for almost 100
years. Their 25,000 square foot gallery is filled with collections of fine art, jewelry and the finest
18th and 19th century antiques. (Just saying they're "fine" and even "finest" seems like an understatement.)
They've recently relaunched their Web site (http://www.rauantiques.com/). It's a nice site with a selection of collections that you can lose your day perusing.
And now they've launched a blog (http://www.rauantiques.com/blog/) where you’ll find information on the gallery’s latest acquisitions,
show information and their personal insights on antiques and fine art.
Before you pop on over there, you may want to reserve a respectable amount of time to dedicate ... but then again, you may have more strength and restraint than I do.

Design and value
Posted by Antique Trader Staff
I had an interesting conversation with my husband the other day. After an on-air appraisal (I'll bet you can guess which show we were watching) of a George Nakashima table (1967) valued at $50,000-$60,000. [Click here to view the table and read more about it.]
My dear husband was somewhat dumbfounded. He said "That's not even old!" That was so sweet as I too am of 1967 vintage.
Anyway, what followed was an interesting discussion of value based on design and the designer versus value based on age. Of course, both need high quality craftsmanship. He said he didn't even like the way the table looked. It looked "plain" and "too new." He favors the 19th century Victorian look versus the Modern look.
My personal tastes follow along the same lines as his (another reason we get along so well together).
The attraction (demand) for so many to any finely designed and crafted furniture — no matter what the style — makes it valuable ... it's not just the age.
