So, I am an avid antique collector. l tend to just buy from antique stores and whatnot, however, l occasionally shop online, but I am very cautious since it is easy to be scammed online.
l was searching on ebay, and l found this piece for sale that is simply irresistible; but, I am paranoid about buying it. It is a little over 300 years old, and l find it hard to believe that something of that age is being sold for $35.
l read the seller is feedback, and all of it was positive, save for three neutrals; and they were only neutral because of late shipment on the seller is part. All the rest was very positive.
Is there any way l can tell if this truly is an antique, or just a fake, save from buying it and having an expert examine it?
