Synopsis
The national treasure hunt, Antiques Roadshow draws millions and millions. Now this knowledge, authority, and passion is distilled in the "Antiques Roadshow Primer," an introductory guide to American antiques and collectibles. The primer addresses the essential things buyers and collectors need to know, covering shapes, styles, and patterns, provenance, periods, and motifs. A 32-page full-color section illustrates numerous examples of styles and techniques., Another stand-alone instalment of the family saga begun in Chasing Rainbows - After an uneasy start to their marriage, Cherry and Lance Melchior are now living on a small working farm. It's a very different life for both Lance, a once-rich playboy, and Cherry, a former kitchen-maid. But when Lance's brother dies he becomes Lord Melchior, and must return to Bristol to run the family estate. This is a difficult time for Cherry, and the reappearance of her roguish brother, Brian, doesn't help matters., The national treasure hunt, Antiques Roadshow is, in its third season, the most popular show on PBS. 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 11 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 to answer the two key question every collector must face: Is it old? Is it valuable?
