Local historical societies, like the Chester County Historical Society in West Chester, can be crucial in helping investors distinguish between fake and authentic art and antiques, writes Randy Warren for Forbes.

Art and antiques that are not handled on the level of big auction houses come with inherent risks for investors. There are several ways to minimize those risks, including using the services of local historical societies.

CCHS currently holds a collection of more than 800 pieces of antique furniture and artifacts that were either donated or acquired by the Society over the years.

Randy Warren, the CEO of Exton-based Warren Financial, recently visited CCHS and learned that, in addition to the sentimental value many items in the collection hold, “the period pieces I admired may hold value not because of demand but because of their level of authenticity.”
