"While there's certainly opportunity for monetary gain, antiques are valuable in more ways than one, including emotional value, which can be harder to quantify. Dianne O’Connor, the founder and CEO of Weston Table, says that investing in antiques is a personal and emotional experience that should reflect your unique taste and be shaped by your connection to the past.

O’Connor says, “Perhaps it reminds you of someone important in your life, perhaps it serves as a historical marker of who you are and where you have come from, or perhaps it is nothing more than an investment in something that makes you feel good and reflects your deeply personal sense of taste. I believe that if you choose to invest in antiques, those investments should have personal meaning.”

Antiques handmade using centuries-old techniques or refined craftsmanship will always be a good investment with potential to increase in value," explains O'Connor, and that is especially true when it comes to barware. Buyers are looking for one-of-a-kind pieces, like this Champagne tap, to break out at their next cocktail party."
