The beginner's authentication kit

Until Turner Valley has mapped antique shops, here's the starter method. Learn the marks — maker's marks and hallmarks are the ID cards of antiques. Check backs and undersides; construction tells the truth. Ask about provenance and restoration, openly. And if the price seems too good, assume reproduction until proven otherwise.

Turner Valley sits about 51° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is prime antiquing season: estate clearances peak, the shops are full of fresh stock, and there's nothing better than a slow browse on a grey afternoon.

A loupe, a marks guide, and a tape measure fit in one pocket and change the whole game.

Antique smarts for Turner Valley

No mapped antique shops yet, but the hunting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Ask the dealer to teach you. Dealers who love their stock love talking about it. An hour of questions is a free education.
• Ask about restoration. Has it been restored, and by whom? Honest restoration is fine; hidden restoration is a problem.
• Ask for the story. The best dealers know where pieces came from. The story is part of what you're buying.
• Ask about delivery. Many dealers deliver locally or know someone who does. Don't let logistics kill a good find.
