Product Description

This book is a major revision and enlargement of "Price Guide to Victorian, Edwardian and 1920s Furniture". In this guide to what is the most popular (and perhaps most confusing) period in antique furniture and collecting, John Andrews presents one of the best general surveys and standard references on the subject. Now exclusively comprising Victorian and Edwardian Furniture, of which 1000 items are illustrated, this book reveals the mysteries of its subject in a completely revised section on the period's myriad styles, from Rococo and Gothic to Sheraton, Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts. Andrews discusses all the points that constitute value, whether influenced by construction, fashion or economic trends. The book is aimed at furniture historians, collectors, curators and dealers and should also be useful as a reference work in libraries.
