A good reference,
By
This review is from: The Bulfinch Anatomy of Antique Furniture: An Illustrated Guide to Identifying Period, Detail, and Design (Hardcover)
This volume provides a good reference for collectors of antique furniture. It includes a detailed chronology of styles and periods, coverering Europe and the US, and presents typical pieces of various categories of furniture, including details on construction. It is well illustrated. Unfortunately no relative values are provided. Also degree of rarity, popularity, etc. is also rarely mentioned.(A tip: I still think that Peter Philp's FIELD GUIDE TO ANTIQUE FURNITURE is much better. In fact, if you've got Philp's book, you don't really need this one).

This review is from: The Bulfinch Anatomy of Antique Furniture: An Illustrated Guide to Identifying Period, Detail, and Design (Hardcover)
Beautiful illustrations and detailed information about high-end antique furniture. Although it is unlikely that I could afford his museum quality examples; it is nice to see period pieces in thier purest form.

An essential guide for the antiquers reference library!,

This review is from: The Bulfinch Anatomy of Antique Furniture: An Illustrated Guide to Identifying Period, Detail, and Design (Hardcover)
This is an absolute sensational book! It is a book that must be included in your antiques reference library!
It covers everything A to Z on the subject of identifying and authenticating period pieces. You WILL be able to identify period pieces once you've studied the book subjects. It offers hundred of pictures, with clear cut difinitions and examples. If you are an antiques dealer, beginner or expert, you will not regret owning this very comprehensive guide. I would also like to recomment The Bulfinch Anatomy of Antique Furniture; another must have reference book. *****
