Furniture (Miller's Antiques Checklist) by Judith & Martin Miller.
 
This new practical series of fully illustrated guides makes the world of antiques accessible as never before.
Collectors today are not satisfied with a purely historical approach - particularly when they need information "on the spot". These guides to individual collecting areas offer a uniquely fast and accurate way to recognize, identify and date antiques.
 
In each book a simple question-and-answer checklist is provided for a wide range of representative items, teaching you what to look for, as well as how to distinguish between the genuine article and a fake, an original and a copy. The checklist is accompanied by a detailed analysis, a concise history and factors that affect the value of the piece.
