Obviously the "experts" on that programme have been lax in their definition of an antique. Jean Nathan in Poole, Dorset, UK
---------------------------------------------- Following Jean's line of thinking: It occurred to me it would be best to find what Antiques Roadshow uses as a definition of an antique. My search brought up a very good definition - and the reasoning behind that definition - which any who are collecting lace, lace equipment, etc. might like to have for informing their heirs. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/glossary/antique.html Print and put this definition with your Will, if you have items you want to be properly appreciated. If you wish, you can supplement with lists, photos, valuations if you know them, names of experts they can consult, and personal notes. Your heirs will find such attention to detail of great help.
