Antiques and art dealers make a living acquiring, displaying, and selling antiques and art. By strict definition, antiques are often defined as items more than 100 years old. In the last two decades, however, the term "antique" has been applied to furniture, jewelry, clothing, art, household goods, and many other collectibles, dating back to as recently as the 1980s. People collect a wide array of items, from traditional paintings and sculptures to unique period toys and cigar boxes. Many antiques and art dealers are self-employed and go into business after discovering an interest in collecting pieces themselves.
An antique dealer works primarily in the buying and selling of antique items. They work for an antique company, an auction house, through a store, or on an independent basis. Antique dealers generally have a thorough knowledge of antiques, and what they are worth. Much of their job focuses on appraisals, and the buying and selling of antiques.
