The antiques market has its own foibles, but the same trends apply to it as with dealing in art, especially when it comes to the emphasis on quality and name and the price difference between exceptional items and those that are merely average. However, there are not many top pieces, and few buyers on the Czech market are capable of appreciating quality. Whereas some auction houses are considering whether to maintain this segment at all, dealers in brick-and-mortar stores continue to focus on their regular customers and foreign clientele.
