This is an illustrated pocket guide to identifying and dating furniture for collectors. Each double-page spread is devoted to a particular item and gives a question-and-answer guide to identification, followed by a detailed analysis. There are notes on fakes and restorations. The guide features analyses of individual types of furniture, organized by category and period, from America, England and the continent. Special spreads are given over to woods, legs and feet, handles, pediments and mouldings. Special categories include drawered furniture, seat furniture, tables, writing furniture, bookcases and cabinets, mirrors and beds. A companion checklist of art deco antiques is published simultaneously.
The first titles in this series of invaluable individual guides, Antiques: Furniture, Antiques: Collectables and Antiques: Under [pound]500, are the perfect companion for your antiques hunts, as well as an excellent reference source for identifying and valuing your own antiques and collectables. Written by antique and collectable expert Martin Miller, this series of handy paperback guides not only includes prices, manufacturers and dates for over 700 items, but each entry is also illustrated with a colour photograph, so you can see exactly what you should be looking for. Containing an index of dealers and antique markets, these books not only show you where to find what you are looking for, but the price guide helps you avoid the wild variations which are often a feature of auction sales. Many of the items featured, or similar objects, will be available for purchase when the books are published, for those keen to hunt down a particular piece. Martin Miller continues to make it even easier for the collector to find exactly what they are looking with these individual full-colour illustrated guides to antiques and collectables.
