Discovering and Restoring Antique Furniture: A Practical Illustrated Guide for the Buyer... by Michael Bennett
Discovering and Restoring Antique Furniture: A Practical Illustrated Guide for the Buyer...


From Library Journal

Based on the premise that antiques in poor condition are more affordable for the average person, Bennett presents a guide to identifying authentic antiques and gives instructions for restoring them. He covers the construction methods to look for to determine genuine antiques but leaves out references to style, for which a good furniture book such as Sotheby's Guide to American Antique Furniture (LJ 1/96) is needed. This book's strength lies in its instructions for structural and finish repairs to wood furniture and in details like the explanation of how to duplicate brass fixtures. Amateurs might want to start with the easier approach found in Robert W. Wood's All Thumbs Guide to Fixing Furniture (Tab, 1994), but those interested in more advanced directions will find this book useful.

Field Guide to American Antique Furniture (A Roundtable Press book) by Joseph T. Butler and Ray Skibinski
Field Guide to American Antique Furniture (A Roundtable Press book)


From Library Journal

Over 1700 of Skibinski's line drawings present a visual approach to the identification of antique furnishings. The book is arranged in chronological sequences (17th century through the early 20th century) by type of furniture, from tables and settees to desks and bookcases. Butler and Johnson have included some important information for the novice and the experienced collector: the sources of furniture used as models for the illustrations; lists of museums, art galleries, and special displays of outstanding collections of furniture; a selected bibliography and a glossary; the anatomy of a piece of furniture; and a brief history of the periods of furniture and furniture makers. Highly recommended for public libraries and other subject collections. Mary Ann Wasick, West Allis P.L., Wis.
