Collins Encyclopedia of Antiques
Description
Collins Encyclopedia of Antiques. Introduction by Sir John Pope-Hennessy. CBE (Director of the British Museum). This book is a comprehensive reference work which will be prized by anyone concerned with antiques. It satisfies the needs of a dealer, the serious collector, and the student, and at the same time it is totally accessible to the beginner in the field. The Encyclopedia has been compiled with the requirements of its user in mind at every stage. It therefore concentrates entirely on fact rather than opinion or appreciation. Packing the maximum amount of information into over five thousand entries, it provides a wealth of essential knowledge on all forms of antiques. A thousand illustrations, five hundred of them in colour, are meticulously integrated with the text providing visual examples to illuminate the entries. NB: A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
