Huge Problems with Antique Islamic Paintings on Ivory

[@skiracer]

Dear Rusty, Charlie, David and WI ladies, We appreciate you showing and discussing these beautiful antiques. I like the fee idea for resellers. What a nice lady for letting us see them!!

[@wickantiques]

Thank you for your kind words!

Creating and fostering a desire for these objects will only continue the uptick in the illegal trade.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

No it won’t and we’re not fostering any desire. Research it thoroughly

I bought some Ivory Dominoes a few years ago,then realised it wasn't a good idea, poor Elephants.Although very old Ivory should be able to be sold off .Very Interesting and Informative David thank you.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you

i thought items done before 1947 could be sold , i know the 10% of the item but even with more of it i really think they could go for sale ???

[@maximhollandnederlandthene7640]

No problem, the Netherlands dont make a problem of it. Only new Ivory is forbidden to sell and imported

Persian ivory miniatures - two problems for me right off. One - can't sell ivory where I am in the USA, at all. Second - Persian stuff can't be sold on line here; it gets yanked and did even 10 years ago. Anything Iranian is a no-go. Locally, there's no market for Iranian-made goods, sad to say. That said, I found a narrow ivory bangle in a charity shop today of the late 70s sort with the gold wire wrapped around. Bought it for the weight of the gold, i.e. not much.

If you search my channel for ‘ ivory ‘ you’ll find vids there explaining the rules and give you date lines

[@-Scotty]

So you just put it in a bigger frame then the ivory is less than 10%?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

No, I’m afraid that wouldn’t work. There’s a few videos on my channel explaining the new ivory laws

@@DavidHarperAntiques Well thankyou David for replying to me with helpful advice, I really didn't expect it & it's very much appreciated mate. All the best.
