Attachment to authenticity and everything related to ancient heritage cultures is a feeling shared by thousands of people around the world, which makes heritage festivals and exhibitions always attract visitors, while many people agree to buy when there are products for sale, but not everything we acquire can be sold, because its historical value is much more expensive. Of any wealth, it is therefore necessary to preserve the collectibles, even if it costs money, because they are pieces that are considered treasures that will not be repeated.
