The following information is provided to educate and inform. Most antiques are very fragile, so you need to use care when displaying and storing them. In general, keep antiques away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, dirt, and anything else that corrodes most items.
Fluorescent lights can severely fade many antiques and their features.
Also, keep them away from radiators and air conditioners. Antiques are made from different materials and therefore have different needs. Each material has its own weaknesses. Keep paper collectibles away from light and in a low and constant temperature. Keep metals away from extreme heat.
