Synopsis

"This is the first comprehensive guide to the London antique street markets. How to get there, how to find the shops and stalls which specialize in one's particular interests, where to eat and drink or even set up one's own stall. The maps show the market areas, with local transport, and, for the larger markets, indicate where each stall and shop is to be found, with specialist stalls clearly indicated. There are also entertaining descriptions, together with photographs by Harold Chapman, of each of the markets - their atmospheres, personalities, past history and future prospects. Mr. Cooper, who is Head of the Furniture, Bronzes and Works of Art Department of Sotheby's Belgravia, recently set up to specialize in the period 1830-1930, provides an equally informative introduction to collecting. He gives an inside picture of the world of collecting and suggests thirty subjects that are worth the attention of new collectors, indicating price levels and where possible pointing to further reading." With 70 photographs, and 10 maps.
