This review is from: Antiquespeak: A Guide to the Styles, Techniques, and Materials of the Decorative Arts, from the Renaissance to Art Deco (Speak Series) (Paperback)
Found this at the library and it was just what I was looking for. An easy to understand reference for terms used about antiques and collectables. Each topic has Who, When, Where and What information with 3-8 paragraphs explaining the topic - the basics. A great companion for those numerous price guides that list items with terms such as Eastlake, Mission, Regency, etc. If you are just starting to learn antiques and you don't know what these and similar terms mean, this book is for you.
