Miller's Late Georgian to Edwardian Furniture Buyer's Guide by Jonty Hearnden

Miller's Late Georgian to Edwardian Furniture Buyer's Guide by Jonty Hearnden

This updated guide lists furniture arranged by type and use - tables, seating furniture, desks and so on - and each section contains fact boxes with practical information on individual items and guidance on changing design features during the period. There is an illustrated key to recognizing different woods, from native varieties such a pine, sycamore and birch to imported species such as mahogany, kingwood and tulipwood. Special features include children's furniture; details and decoration of furniture; and how to care for your furniture, with tips on how to restore damaged and discoloured wood. There is also a directory of specialists and a glossary of terms.

Jonty Hearnden has over 28 years experience in the antiques world and unusually on both sides - in the auction rooms and as an independent furniture dealer. He has been a member of the judging panel for the British Antiques and Collectable Awards (BACA) and has appeared as an expert on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow. He is currently filming his tenth series of Cash in the Attic and is also the antiques expert on the BBC's Sun, Sea and Bargains. He is the Consultant Editor for Miller's Late Georgian to Edwardian Furniture Buyer's Guide (2003) and Miller's What's In Your Attic (2007)
