Review:
''The Connoisseur's Concise Encyclopaedia of Antiques (Volume Two) is the second volume of this invaluable reference work that surveys over 500 years of skilled craftsmanship in the creation of antiques. Like Volume One, this volume is illustrated with 32 pages of full colour and 64 pages of black and white photographs, making it both a superb record of a vanishing tradition and an essential guide for collectors. The central chapters of Volume Two focus on Pottery, Porcelain, and Silver, three of the most sought-after categories in the antiques world. The remaining chapters cover Pewter, Tea Chests, Objects of Vertu, Victorian items, and Wine Labels, providing a comprehensive overview of a wide range of collectible items. Published by Sphere Books, this volume is an accessible and informative resource for both novice collectors and seasoned connoisseurs. Whether you are looking to identify a piece, learn about its history, or deepen your appreciation of antique craftsmanship, Volume Two is an essential addition to any collector's library.''
