 In some 500 entries, the author covers the entire range of popularly collected antiques within most people’s means, together with styles and terms, and historically important designers and craftsmen. He gives essential history and background information, and, where appropriate, the criteria for identifying items as genuine antiques, from Acanthus and Art Deco to Windsor chairs and Wine.

The entries are supported with illustrations, book references for more detailed study, information on the collections in which you can find particular types of antiques, and a comprehensive index for cross-reference

 Apart from light shelf wear, both the book and the dust jacket are in very good condition
