1. Different business scope: The cultural relics store mainly deals in ancient artworks and cultural relics related to history and culture, such as bronzes, ceramics, paintings and calligraphy. On the other hand, antique shops deal in a wider range of ancient objects, including but not limited to works of art, such as antique furniture, antique ornaments, handicrafts and so on.
2. Different ages of cultural relics: Cultural relics shops focus on selling ancient cultural relics with historical value and uniqueness, which can be traced back to the historical period hundreds or even thousands of years ago. On the other hand, antique shops cover a wider range of time, including modern items.
3. Different standards of value appraisal: Because cultural relics have high historical and cultural value, the sale of cultural relics should comply with relevant laws and regulations, and professional personnel are needed for appraisal and certification. Cultural relics shops will pay more attention to their authenticity and historical background when buying and selling cultural relics. The goods in antique shops depend more on personal preferences and market demand, and the value appraisal is relatively flexible.
