Antiques often carry "ghost marks," faint impressions or shadows left by removed labels, hardware, or exhibitions. These spectral hints offer a secret roadmap to an object's history. Like detectives, antique enthusiasts decipher these clues to confirm authenticity and provenance. They remind us that each piece is not just an item but a silent witness to the past, every scratch and shadow a chapter in its story.
