This handsomely designed volume offers a user-friendly lexicon of the decorative arts. Understanding antiques requires knowledge of a specialized vocabulary that tells initiates what something is, where it came from, and when it was made. "AntiqueSpeak" provides this essential information in concise but illuminating essays that cover almost a millennium of styles, materials, types of objects, specialized areas of collecting, and concerns involved with acquiring and caring for antiques and rative arts. The volume covers the Renaissance to Art Deco and includes a one-page style chart, a section of color plates, and an album of ornaments and classical orders.
