Frequently seen on TV on the British version of Antiques Roadshow, Eric Knowles is one of the most widely respected antiques experts in the U.K. His simple, nontechnical approach to buying antiques assumes no previous knowledge on the part of the reader, and provides all the information a beginner needs to find the best and most affordable objects in all price ranges. This thorough overview covers the major stylistic eras in each category with more than 1,400 illustrations—including several specially annotated photos that show exactly what to look for. What makes the guide especially useful is that Eric has valued each item, from oak and country furniture to English silver, European art glass, and on to Chinese ceramics.
