Includes Tips on Spotting Fakes!

Do you love to poke around at estate sales and antique shops — but can't really tell the difference between Queen Anne and Queen Victoria? Do you dream of owning that old Oriental rug or Meissen figurine — but worry that the dealer might gouge you on the price? Relax. Writing with humor and common sense, Ron Zoglin and Deborah Shouse demystify the highfalutin terminology of the antique world — and show you step-by-step how to find, bargain for, buy, and decorate with antiques.

Inside, find helpful advice on how to:

  • Distinguish between real antiques and stuff that's just plain old
  • Develop a plan of attack before you begin your hunt
  • Select antiques based on the five key points of the Radar Test
  • Accessorize your home or office with antique European, Oriental, and American glass and porcelain
  • Clean and care for your precious finds
  • Work an auction — real time and online
