The first edition of The Connoisseur Complete Encyclopedia of Antiques influenced the knowledge and taste of a whole generation of collectors. The range and comprehensiveness of the information it contained was unrivalled in any other single volume. Its broad approach still unchallenged, The Connoisseur Complete Encyclopedia of Antiques has now been completely redesigned to meet the needs of a new generation, using approximately 500 colour illustrations, 500 black and white photographs and 360 line drawings. The text, written by highly qualified experts and revised where necessary to take account of new discoveries, is divided as before into a number of major chapters enabling each subject to be dealt with in an authoritative and rounded way. The great range of subjects is similar to that made famous in the original edition; it includes furniture, silver, pottery and porcelain, glass, clocks and watches, jewelry, needlework and embroidery, metalwork, prints, carpets and rugs, arms and armour, coins and medals and scientific instruments._ New interests are included by the addition of sections on antiquities and ethnographica, oriental antiques, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the Arts and Crafts Movement. As before, the sections have a separate glossary of technical terms, plus lists of museums and galleries to visit and books for further reading. Completely revised edition. Size: 4to.
