How this works
- You submit the form. We hold the request for twenty-four hours while Margaret reviews quality and routes it.
- We forward your request to two or three independent dealers whose specialty matches what you want.
- Those dealers contact you directly. Negotiation, payment, and authentication happen entirely between you and them.
- antiquecostume.com is paid by the dealers for the introduction, not by you. You see no markup on price.
What we do not do
- We do not hold inventory.
- We do not negotiate price on your behalf.
- We do not authenticate, appraise, or warrant any piece. For authentication see /authenticate (separate paid service).
- We do not handle payment between you and the dealer.
See /disclosure for the full editorial and commercial separation policy.
