How should I care for items I bought at an auction?

How should I care for items I bought at an auction?

It depends on the type of items you purchased. Can you tell me what kind of items they are?

I bought some vintage furniture and a few paintings.

For vintage furniture, keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity. Regular dusting and occasional polishing will help. For paintings, ensure they are hung in a stable environment, away from moisture and direct light.

What about cleaning them? Is there anything specific I should use?

For furniture, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. For paintings, it's best to consult a professional conservator for cleaning.

Thanks! How often should I check on them?

It's a good idea to check your items every few months to ensure they are in good condition and to address any issues promptly.
