Lyle Antiques Price Guide 2000 Book

From "Adding Machines" to "Wood" this long-established guide is for dreamers and realists alike--the dreamers will spend happy hours browsing through the pages of this book expecting at the turn of every page that some dusty relic in the attic will be revealed as a priceless treasure, while the realists will use it as a handy guide to the price they can expect to pay or obtain for a particular item. Lyle's Antiques Price Guide 2000 is compiled using actual prices achieved at auction and the auctioneer is listed in each instance. There is a good balance of fine antiques and more everyday collectables, ranging from a Chippendale Drum Table sold at Christies for £320,500 to a signed promotional photo of Boyzone sold for £42 by Vennett-Smith of Notts. Black-and-white or colour photographs illustrate each item. Scattered among the listings are useful boxes such as "Buyer Beware" and "Top Tips" where auctioneers give guidance on avoiding fakes, caring for your antiques and other relevant advice and information. Whatever the level of your interest in antiques this guide will be a valuable reference book--the experienced collector will be able to update knowledge of current prices, while the novice will be able to learn a great deal about antiques from the comfort of an armchair. --Stephanie DonaldsonRead More
