| There is no doubt about the antiquesboom. People everywhere are fasci-nated by the beauty, craftsmanship,and the historical and commercialvalue of relics from the past. For alltheir charm and sentimental appeal,however, antiques still have one draw-back--they are basically second-handgoods. They have inevitably sufferedfrom use, misuse, or storage. Although the number of dealers hasincreased with demand, the numberof professional restorers has dwindled.As a result, restorers have been forcedto limit the number of their customers,and people seeking help are oftenfaced witi!i long waiting lists and pro-hibitive costs. |
