There are few greater pleasures for the antiques lover than delving into the back rooms and dark corners of junk shops and secondhand stores, searching for the treasures that no one else has found. What can match the thrill of spotting a coveted item at a bargain price? Perhaps the excitement of identifying an obscure object from long ago, or the triumph of detecting a fake? The Great Antiques Treasure Hunt is a unique book that lets you test your knowledge of popular antiques and collectibles.
To browse through these pages is to enter a fabulous storehouse piled high with tables and chairs, china and glassware, clocks and watches, jewelry and silver, scientific instruments, swords, military medals, and more. Some pieces are familiar, others surprising; some valuable, others extremely affordable. And hidden among the more than 700 objects pictured are more than 150 especially intriguing items to search for - in order to answer the clever questions posed about them.
Each of the book's 12 intricate full-color collages covers a major area of collecting and presents a kaleidoscope of discovery and delight. A "decoder" reveals the identity of each piece shown: what it is, where it came from, when it was made, and its approximate value. Armed with this information -and some of your own - you can try to work out the solutions to the author's riddles and take part in The Great Antiques Treasure Hunt.
This ingenious book will keep anyone with an interest in antiques and collectibles enthralled for hours. Bring it along next time you comb the world's flea markets and antiques shops - it will help you discover if you're really getting a good buy!
