At an antiques valuation event with Charlie and Rusty Wallrock from Wick Antiques we came across two Islamic paintings on ivory (miniatures) They belong to a WI member who came along to Wick Antiques to see us and they were inherited many years ago - they originate from the 1920’s / 30’s and we’re brought back from Persia by an English nurse who’d been working in the Middle East. The miniature themselves are likely earlier than the 1920’s, but certainly at least 100 years old
However, even though they’re obviously antique, were created generations ago, there are huge problems around owning, buying or selling such items. Rusty Wallrock explains what these are
