Features: In this book, the author selects four categories that she has studied over the past thirty years from the most popular collecting fields: furniture, ceramics, silverware, and glassware. The book places each category in its historical context, analyzing the most influential types, styles, and manufacturers, and then demonstrates their main characteristics through illustrative examples. However, its purpose is not merely to impart experience. The primary intention of this book is to equip you with basic identification techniques and other trading tips so that you can begin collecting with the confidence of a seasoned antique expert.
