Antique hunting tips for Kristiansand

The dealers' own advice, for Kristiansand:

• Learn wood identification at Kollektivet. Mahogany versus stained pine is a value chasm. A basic grasp of woods saves expensive mistakes.
• Patina is value at Søgne Brukt og Antikk. Original patina on metal and wood is desirable. Over-polished pieces have lost something irrecoverable.
• Learn your periods. Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century — knowing the periods keeps you from paying Georgian prices for 1980s revival.
• Don't overlook ephemera. Old paper — maps, posters, postcards — is affordable, fascinating, and easy to live with.
