In Modena a fair to relaunch quality antiques, after years of waiting due to the pandemic: this occasion also aims to be a return to the revaluation of antiques, not only as furniture but also as an investment. If fashions have changed, however, the value of beauty and the importance of history present in many antiques have not changed. As the auction houses have recorded excellent turnovers in the last year, it is to be expected that too Modenantiquaria, which opens on Saturday 26 March in the Emilian city, could be an opportunity for new collectors who wish to enter the magical world of antiquity also for a medium and long-term investment.
Modenaantiquaria presents several antique galleries that will exhibit important works with certification – as stated by the General Manager of Modena Fiere Marco Momoli “The stage where beauty is the protagonist and where dreams can become reality. For a top-level exhibition such as Modenantiquaria, the certainty of the certification of the objects on display is essential, to give all possible peace of mind to customers and collectors. This is why, in addition to the guarantees already given by the highly selected exhibitors, we have selected a vetting of internationally accredited art historians who examine all the objects on display before the opening of the exhibition".
