Interior as new.; Since Chinese and Japanese luxuries were first introduced into Europe by the East India companies in the 16th century, they have remained a constant source of fascination and inspiration to antique lovers worldwide. Over the last decade, Far Eastern antiques have become even more popular and accessible in the West due to the increasingly global nature of the antiques trade. Today there is a vast range of wares available with something to suit every taste and pocket and Miller's Chinese & Japanese Antiques Buyer's Guide explores them all. This is the only guide available that provides a much-needed reference to identifying and valuing antiques from the Far East for both the newcomer and more experienced collector. Over 3,500 items of popular Chinese and Japanese antiques such as blue and white gingers jars, richly carved lacquer boxes and jade jewellery are illustrated and described, with over 800 colour photographs, each with and up-to date price guide. The book is divided by type of ware (e.g. furniture, ceramics, metalware) and then subdivided by country for ease of reference. Each section contains information boxes with practical guidance on collecting each subject, what to be aware of when starting out, how to spot fakes, and hints on how to avoid making expensive mistakes. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
