Chinese Furniture. A Guide to Buying Antiques.
MAZURKEWICH, KAREN. Stock ID: 99472 Profusely illustrated throughout in colour, 223pp, dustjacket, quarto. This book is a survey of these collectibles - from the very best hardwood pieces featured to standard softwood specimens still available on the Asian market. The book presents an overview of carving styles, wood types, regional variations, class distinctions and restoration techniques. With this renewed interest in antique furniture, a forgery market has emerged. Thousands of factories in southern China are churning out brand new or refurbished furniture and passing them off as antiques. "Chinese Furniture" unearths these forgeries and serves as an indispensable reference guide to collectors. Highly recommended! (When referring to this item please quote stockid 99472) ... more |
