Best Practices

• •Emphasize Heritage and Authenticity: Consistently use language that reflects the age, origin, and genuine nature of the antiques. Words like "historic," "authentic," "18th-century," "hand-selected," and "provenance" should be staples.
• •Maintain a Formal and Respectful Voice: Avoid slang, overly casual language, or excessive informality. The tone should convey expertise and respect for the items and the clientele.
• •Focus on Quality and Craftsmanship: Highlight the superior materials, construction techniques, and enduring beauty of the pieces. Use descriptive adjectives that evoke elegance and lasting value.
• •Share Knowledge Subtly: While the tone is expert, it shouldn't be condescending. Weave in historical context or details about craftsmanship in a way that informs and enriches, rather than preaches.
• •Be Evocative and Story-Driven (Where Appropriate): Antiques have stories. Hinting at their past or the lifestyle they represent can add depth and appeal, connecting with the emotional aspect of collecting. For instance, "Imagine the conversations held around this 19th-century French writing desk..."
