Romantic Homes
|November 2016
This year, think outside the prepackaged box with some expert advice about buying gifts from auctions.
Every year it can be hard to think of gifts for the people on your shopping list.
You want something as special as they are, but where to begin? Perusing the enduring, well-made objects of the past gives you a range of unexpected and beautiful choices to suit the tastes of people on your list and your budget too.
To learn more, we went to an expert, founder and head of content at Barnebys.com, Pontus Silfverstolpe. He has 20 years of experience with fine art and antiques, and offers his advice for shopping at auction houses or auction aggregator sites like Barnebys.com.
