What was the most interesting antique piece you've ever met?

Answer 1

Huh? I guess you mean antiques. My mom knows a guy back home who is a major Civil War collector. His entire collection rivals many museums, if not outright beats them.

And perhaps the coolest part was that when I got to go check his collection out, he let me handle much of the stuff. We're talking lots of rifles, some bayonets, bullets, books, diaries, bibles....very cool, very educational experience for a civil war nerd like myself.

Answer 2

Well...


I'm not quite sure how to answer this?

What exactly do you mean?

Too many times people just go along with what those above them had to say and fail to understand the question because it was worded poorly or in some kind of Geographically specific slang.

You're either English... and this means an old piece of as*s?
Or American, and slightly illiterate and you mean an actual antique?

I have no way of knowing so....

I am going to say An old Tibetan Statue in a museum.

Other than that... I don't do old people. That's gross!

Answer 3

I love pianos. When I was 9, my mother found an old "player piano" with the music sheets that you roll over the tier. I was always amazed at how the piano keys would depress on their own to the tune. That antique piano was the most interesting piece I have met.

Answer 4

I once met an ancient Parsi Indian, but I don't think that's what you really meant. The most interesting antique which I have ever had the privilege to hold was a Fabergé egg.

Answer 5

Well the most interesting antique I have seen is a table that my parents own........and it has glass claw feet at the bottom of each leg of the table.

Also, antique glasses from 1912.

Answer 6

Two. The Tutankhamun exibit when it came to San Francisco in the early 70's, and the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 80's, also in San Francisco.

Answer 7

Pre-Colombian art from the Americas, ceramics, gold silver and platinum figurines, semi precious stones in their jewelery.
See the creativeness of Native Americans prior to the Spanish conquest and Bishop Landa destroying the treasures in the name of his God.

Answer 8

my dressing table. I found it in an antique shop in Bournemouth, it cost a fortune, it is beautiful, Georgian, and I love it. It has gone around the world with me.

Answer 9

It would be the appendix of the prime minister Gladstone, nicely pickled in a Kilner jar
