Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Based on the premise that antiques in poor condition are more affordable for the average person, Bennett presents a guide to identifying authentic antiques and gives instructions for restoring them. He covers the construction methods to look for to determine genuine antiques but leaves out references to style, for which a good furniture book such as Sotheby's Guide to American Antique Furniture (LJ 1/96) is needed. This book's strength lies in its instructions for structural and finish repairs to wood furniture and in details like the explanation of how to duplicate brass fixtures. Amateurs might want to start with the easier approach found in Robert W. Wood's All Thumbs Guide to Fixing Furniture (Tab, 1994), but those interested in more advanced directions will find this book useful.
