"Written by an internationally known antique expert-a regular contributor to all major antique publications-this practical handbooks is designed to act as a guide through the maze of this fascinating pastime."
"This book strips the subject of the usual mystique surrounding it. The reader is shown how to judge whether the"expert" is expert of just bluffing. The separate periods are examined in chronological order-with styles, methods,material, and prevailing social conditions fully analyzed. The reader is also shown how to "mix" several periods, how to buy and collect economically, what to accept, what to reject. It is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in antiques, whether he be casual amateur or serious collector."
