Description

Written for both experienced and novice collectors, 100 Years of the Decorative Arts is a comprehensive illustrated survey of a period once ignored by serious antique dealers but now one of the most popular collecting fields. In this book, Eric Knowles brings together Victoriana, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Beginning with an introduction to the main events, artistic movements and technological advances of the period, Knowles looks in detail at all of the important craftsmen and women working in the United States, Britain, and continental Europe. The range of media considered is no less diverse and includes furniture, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and glass. Each section includes information on identification, valuation, dating and fakes. Finally, there is a list of designers, craftsmen and women, manufacturers and their marks, and a glossary of technical terms.
