In this guide, the serious collector and the adventurous browser as well as the armchair enthusiast will be guided to the best selection of antiques throughout the world. Whether you have a weak spot for 19th-century Iroquois masks or Tang 8th-century funerary vases, whether your taste runs towards Baroque ivory figurines or Art Deco pottery, this book tells you where to find it and how to acquire it. Rita Reif has tracked down antiquities up through 1930s art deco, including jewellery, furniture, glass, books, precious metals, ceramics, rugs, and folk art. Her guide lists private galleries, auction houses, and antique fairs all over the world. She gives us her choice of the best shops - more than 200 in all - in over 20 cities including Paris, London, Rome, Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco. She offers a history of her subject, which cities specialize in which antiques, provides general price categories, and reports on the personal preferences of dealers she has come to know.
