About the Item
First Edition Hardback in Dust Jacket, published by Eyre
Spottiswoode, London, 1971. Text in English.
“There is probably not enough genuine eighteenth-century furniture for sale to keep more than one shop going in London, and another in the North of England.”
An essential and startling reference book, explaining just how many fakes and reproductions have slipped into the antiques market for historic English furniture, how they have been made or converted, and how to spot them. Full of expertly explained details, photographs and illustrations on repairing, restoring, and altering furniture, and where to look to separate the crème de la crème of 18th-century antiques from the two centuries of reproductions that followed. An unmissable volume for understanding antique furniture.
Dimensions: 25.5cm x 20cm x 2cm
Condition: Very Good ++
