Antics: Passionate Stories About Folks in the Antiques Trade

Rainbo Electronic Reviews, April 2007
"As a recovering collectibles dealer, I couldn't resist this title. And I was truly gratified for my effort Ms. Berge creates characters with feeling and substance, and a passion for the trade and the rewards it can bring."

Product Description
ANTICS is a delight to read, with witty, engaging tales about the men and women who people America's flea markets and antiques malls, from the high-end shops to the five-n-dime swaps. What's more, it's an instruction manual for collectors, offering up how-to's and other secrets of the trade. What makes this collection of loosely-related short stories so extraordinary is the large scope of antiquing knowledge set forth by the author. As a dynamic cast of complex characters try to figure out their romantic relationships, they continue to buy and sell the items that bind them. A few plots stray to more bizarre, even macabre, dealings. Overall, a sense of authenticity and deep caring about humanity and its precious objects prevails.

Product Review
The perfect companion for an afternoon of antique shopping, AntiqueSpeak is an accessible lexicon for the &"decorative arts." Because of its alphabetical organization, this book is an ideal reference, boasting clear, concise essays on styles, techniques, and materials. Entries range from brass to Renaissance, from baroque to needlework, and span from Spain's Hispano-Moresque in 1300 to 1930s modernism. More complex entries such as "Georgian," "Regence," and "Victorian" are broken down into "Who, When, Where, What," enabling readers to understand each term in many different contexts.

The more committed antique hunter or student may want to read the book from cover to cover, absorbing the broader scope and considering the relationships between essays. The chronological style chart allows readers to follow the progression of various movements, and a comprehensive bibliography opens the door to further exploration. Kudos to curator Kathryn B. Hiesinger and cohort George Marcus, who have created a marvelous guide to understanding the often opaque language of the decorative arts. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Art Deco (Dk Collector's Guides)

From Booklist
Art deco is one of the more recent design styles but also one of the most influential. Art deco is given a renewed positioning and a massive one-source reference in this collector's guide, authored by a British antiques expert, with the aid of a coauthor. As to be expected, the visuals are superb, providing a magnificent perspective on art deco inspirations for furniture, textiles, glass, ceramics, jewelry, silver- and metalware, sculpture, and posters and graphics. Far more than a list, a photographic gallery, and a narrative, every page yields valuable information, whether it's about an unknown designer, unusual facts to know, and even auction-price estimates. A colorful appreciation of and guidelines to the marriage of art and industry in the 1920s and 1930s. Glossary, directory of dealers and auction houses and their source codes, and directory of museums appended. Barbara Jacobs
