Where should I go to antique evaluations?
Hi, I live in San Antonio, TX. I have an antique Chinese porcelain in the house I would like to be appreciated, but I do not know where to go. Should I go to a local antique store to get feedback or are they not trustworthy? Where do I go? I am afraid I am torn by one of them.
Check with your local Chamber of Commerce. They have lists of their members and may be able to give you a good lead. Chambers of Commerce are often overlooked but provide valuable resources for their communities.
