Miller's Is It Genuine? How to Collect Antiques
Description
Miller's Is It Genuine? How to Collect Antiques with Confidence. General Editor John Bly. 'Miller's Is It Genuine? is the most knowledgeable, informative, and practical guide to the deceptions, fakes, and not-quite-genuine pieces to be found in the antique trade. Written by some of the world's leading authorities, it is illustrated in full colour with over 300 photographs and drawings. The book's coverage is very wide: dealers, saleroom experts, and other authorities of the first rank look at Furniture, Metalware, Pottery and Porcelain, Glass, Clocks, and Toys, as well as more specialised areas such as Netsuke, Quilts, and Scientific Instruments. The approach is always thoroughly practical, using colour illustrations to show buyers what to look for and what to beware of, and how the faker's material and techniques differ from those in the genuine article. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
