Top 10 Antiques Blogs

Originally published

AntiquesBlogsTop 10

I put together a top 10 Antiques Blogs list for Blogs.com and tried to make it very diverse in it's genres and topical coverage. I tried to include a sprinkling of general antiques news blogs mixed with very focused niche blogs. It's a very hard process to whittle down to 10 with as many blogs as there are out there covering antiques and collectibles. Be sure to stop by the list and if you have other favorites, add yours into the comments.

FYI, I will be a bit less prolific for the next several days as I spend some needed downtime doing something other than Victorian! I'll be back, re-energized, and with a backlog of 30 draft blog posts to finish off and use on this site, there is much more to come.

    Glad to see Newels made it. It's nice to actually sit down and read well-crafted prose on the subject of antiques.

Why Antiques Get Mis-Attributed - Six Reasons

Unfortunately, identifying an antique's manufacturer is sometimes an art and not always a science. It is not often that a 19th Century item has a patent existing to help us easily identify the maker as does the "lollipop
