Spanning Roman antiquities to collectables of the future, this illustrated guide features all the latest price ranges and represents a cross-section of what has been available in auction houses and from dealers across the world, including the USA.
I have read many of these books over the years and I have gained a lot of knowledge from them.
The price usually given is the price that piece made in auction and this gives you a good idea to what an item might be worth.
I really loved this guide because I love art nouveau and art deco and their are some beautiful pieces in the guide sadly they are not mine.
