5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for all types of antiques
This book is exactly what I was looking for even earlier in my antique experience. It touches on everything from porcelain to styles of furniture, fakes, how to detect quality, and much, much more. Every page is full of color photographs and examples. It's a great place to start for anyone who wants to know the basics of different types of antiques. Definitely worth...

1.0 out of 5 stars
Too much ground, too little information
Trying to cover 90 subjects in 180 pages leaves the reader feeling vexed and frustrated. You get a few titbits of information on the subject, then the article is finished. Not even enough information to qualify as an introduction on most subjects. And just to make things even more frustrating, the book gives values for example objects without telling you...

This book was selected as a Christmas present to help a young couple learn to look and notice important details in older objects. The techniques would be helpful to anybody regardless of experience with antiques.. We were so impressed with the content as we thumbed through that we then bought a copy for ourselves

This review is from: Antiques Detective (Hardcover)
Trying to cover 90 subjects in 180 pages leaves the reader feeling vexed and frustrated. You get a few titbits of information on the subject, then the article is finished. Not even enough information to qualify as an introduction on most subjects.
And just to make things even more frustrating, the book gives values for example objects without telling you anywhere whether they're auction or retail values. |
