VICTORIAN AND EDWARDIAN FURNITURE: PRICE GUIDE AND REASONS FOR VALUES by John Andrews, Antique Collector's Club, Suffolk, UK, 1992/1998.

"This reprint of one of the classic books in the Antique Collectors' Club list contains 1,100 illustrations (80 in full color) of all types of furniture from bureaus to whatnots, in styles from Gothic Revival to Edwardian Sheraton and Art Nouveau. It explains many of the mysteries behind the most prolific period in furniture history, taking a sympathetic but shrewd look at the styles, the construction and the market's assessment of an enormous range of pieces. Like its predecessor, and the best-selling British Antique Furniture, this book discusses furniture which is available to the collector rather than museum pieces. It provides an objective guide to what is sought after and to what is unpopular. Fine quality and cheap mass-production are described in succinct terms which assist the reader to understand the complexities of a confusing period and the judge his or her own preferences. The illuminating essay on styles and informative captions contained in the comprehensive sections on each category of furniture not only give both novice and experienced collector a first-rate picture of what to look for from the reigns of Victoria (1837-1901) and Edward VII (1901-1910), but also highlight the wide overlap between the two. The great designers and craftsmen of the period are given due recognition and a twenty-year survey of the movement of prices of the major types of pieces provides the reader with that unique perspective for which Antique Collectors' Club reference books and price guides are justly famous."
