Buying Antique Furniture

The collector's guide to buying antique furniture.
The COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO BUYING ANTIQUE FURNITURE has been specifically designed to give all the essential information the buyer needs - quickly, simply and clearly. It shows you how to assess a piece just as a dealer would. This guide covers more than 50 designs in detail - the classic types that have been most influential and imitated and those most likely to confront us in a shop or saleroom.
This first-class handbook is designed to show the changing styles of English furniture as well as sections on country and cottage furniture, practice of repair, characteristics of different woods and a useful glossary of terms. The COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO BUYING ANTIQUE FURNTIURE should be the first investment any buyer of antiques ought to make.
