Collecting antiques has become a widespread hobby today. And in the case when outstanding monuments turn out to be inaccessible due to exorbitantly high prices, the zeal of collectors does not decrease and they are ready to be satisfied with less significant or even dubious items. However, as demand expands, so does uncertainty about the origin and quality of items. For even at the beginning of collecting in the 19th century, there was a danger of disorienting collectors with fakes, since skilled craftsmen and clever intermediaries already at that early time learned to use market conditions to their advantage. The book offered to the attention of readers should be useful primarily in this regard. The introductions to individual chapters not only outline the history of the development of the relevant branches of the art industry and identify the stylistic features of stylistic eras. In order to give greater thoroughness to knowledge, it is necessary, in addition, to become acquainted with the basic methods of production and processing of artistic products, which to a certain extent determine their form - which this book also contributes to. Only after this will the collector be able to independently recognize obvious or covert fakes. In addition, in the "Tips for Collectors" section you can find instructions on how to care for antiques. The most significant thing in this book is the completeness of the presented material, which is necessary for every collector for a comparative analysis.

The book is in very good condition, the dust jacket has tears.
