This book contains masses of information the professional antiques dealer and collector needs to conduct their business in an efficient and profitable manner. It also gives a fascinating insight into just how that business is conducted! It provides information not only on the historical background and marks for china, glass, silver, pewter and furniture, and tips on collecting a multitude of other items; it also reveals the secrets of the experts, the simple tricks that dealers use all the time - like tapping a metal clock with a coin to see if it is spelter or brass, or how to tell if the glass in a mirror dates from the 19th century or earlier. It details the psychological games of the trade, how a simple intake of breath can kill the confidence of an uncertain buyer, how a muttered 'Shame!' or 'Marriage' can transform the fate of an item at an auction. All is explained. Armed with The Knowledge, buying and selling antiques and collectables will never be the same again!
