In this beautifully illustrated guide antiques expert Judith Miller explores the key makers and pieces of the movement explaining what to look for as a collector.

The book explores all the key collecting areas with chapters on furniture glass ceramics sculpture metalwork silver and plastics prints and posters rugs and textiles. With clear price codes and biographies of key makers and designers the book also contains "A Closer Look" and "Good Better Best Masterpiece" features comparing ranges of items from makers and factories.
