Every week it draws millions and millions of viewers to the edge of their seats as independent dealers and specialists from the country's leading auction houses appraise family heirlooms and flea market finds alike. Now this knowledge, authority, and passion is distilled in the "Antiques Roadshow Primer," an introductory guide to American antiques and collectibles. Antiques Roadshow has taught us to look for fortunes in our attics -- perhaps to find, as other lucky souls have, an Anna Poole Peale portrait miniature worth $5,000 to $7,000 or a Confederate sword worth $35,000. Focusing on eleven major areas -- including Furniture, Painting, Silver, Jewelry, Porcelain, and Toys -- the primer addresses the essential things buyers and collectors need to know, covering vital details for each category, such as shapes, styles, and patterns, provenance, periods, and motifs. A 32-page full-color section amplifies each chapter by illustrating numerous examples of styles and techniques, and individual items are fully identified, often with their appraised value. Above all, it helps even first-timers answer the two key questions every Collector must face: -Is it old? Is it valuable? AnnotationAn illustrated guide to antiques ranging from furniture to artworks to letters, this book offers brief histories of period styles in antiques, tips on examining antiques for authenticity and value, and anecdotes from the world of collectibles.
