For years, collecting antiques has been Barbara Ohrbach's favorite pastime. Cherchez, the elegant home furnishings shop she owned in New York City, reflected her exquisite taste and impeccable eye. In this very personal book, she gives practical advice about collecting and living with antique objects. As she says, all of these treasures from the past are what "give a room its personality and style and a house its soul. "Antiques at Home is filled with more than 300 photographs of beautiful old objects and rooms, and provides a wonderful look at the world of collecting -- from flea markets to elegant stores. Ms. Ohrbach discusses many types of antiques, including ceramics, silver, and textiles. In each chapter, she interviews some of the most respected people in the antiques business and includes tips for what to look for when buying antiques and ideas on how to decorate with them. Each chapter ends with a special section on how to care for and preserve these objects. Ms. Ohrbach shares her enthusiasm in searching for antiques and tells us where to find them in an international source guide that reveals her favorite antiques shops, fairs, markets, unusual museums, and historic homes. Decorative arts societies, reference books, decorating periodicals, and restorers are also listed. Beautiful objects that were used and loved in everyday life in the past have become very special to us today. For everyone who has already discovered the warmth that old things bring to our homes, as well as for newcomers to collecting, this book will be a treasured guide.

"There are few greater pleasures for the antiques lover than delving into the back rooms and dark corners of junk shops and secondhand stores, searching for the treasures that no one else has found. What can match the thrill of spotting a coveted item at a bargain price? Perhaps the excitement of identifying an obscure object from long ago, or the triumph of detecting a fake? The Great Antiques Treasure Hunt is a unique book that lets you test your knowledge of popular antiques and collectibles." "To browse through these pages is to enter a fabulous storehouse piled high with tables and chairs, china and glassware, clocks and watches, jewelry and silver, scientific instruments, swords, military medals, and more. Some pieces are familiar, others surprising; some valuable, others extremely affordable. And hidden among the more than 700 objects pictured are more than 150 especially intriguing items to search for - in order to answer the clever questions posed about them." "Each of the book's 12 intricate full-color collages covers a major area of collecting and presents a kaleidoscope of discovery and delight. A "decoder" reveals the identity of each piece shown: what it is, where it came from, when it was made, and its approximate value. Armed with this information - and some of your own - you can try to work out the solutions to the author's riddles and take part in The Great Antiques Treasure Hunt." "This ingenious book will keep anyone with an interest in antiques and collectibles enthralled for hours. Bring it along next time you comb the world's flea markets and antiques shops - it will help you discover if you're really getting a good buy!"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
