Inside the Real World of Antiques

0/5 ( ratings)

This book may save you a lot of money if you are a buyer of antiques. After 40 years of working as a restorer of antiques and closely observing the rest of the antique world as a neutral James Lindsay surveys the antique trade and its associated activities with a slightly cynical but generally benign eye and with a sense of humour except for the occasional old man's rant. Some of his advice on collecting, caring for one's possessions, making the most advantageous purchases and being alert to the presence of sharks may save some readers from a painful financial disaster sooner or later. It is definitely NOT a do it yourself manual of antique restoration and if you have ever even contemplated trying such you will be grateful for the author's dire warnings as he tries to help you avoid gross diminution of your treasures' value.
