This book is a richly illustrated collector’s guide to antiques, showing various styles of antique objects from around the world. It organizes antiques by style (rather than just by country or period), making it easier to identify, compare, and appreciate different design traditions. With over 400 illustrations (and about 120 in full colour) , the book covers furniture, decorative items, ceramics, metalwork, and more. It’s a practical and visual reference for collectors, historians, or anyone interested in antique design.
