A pocket-size book, this third edition has been updated and revised by Phillips, one of Britain's leading antique auctioneers. New features include a 16-page colour section and additional black and white pictures. It offers antiques hunters a comprehensive and accurate price guide to furniture, silver, glass, clocks, pottery and porcelain. Divided into categories, the book details 600 pieces, each beautifully photographed, precisely captioned and priced. Each category contains an introduction which traces the historical development of the antiques covered. In addition, the extensive glossary will prove invaluable and the helpful suggestions will encourage lovers of antiques to purchase with confidence. The notes on salerooms, fairs, markets and practice at auctions make this a useful reference for any antiques buyer - amateur or dedicated.
