Inhaltsangabe

What do Honus Wagner baseball cards, Queen Anne side chairs, and nineteenth-century ceramic lions all have in common? At first glance, very little. Yet Evaluating Your Collection explores the wide range of things people collect and teaches the basic skills needed to operate in the world of antiques and collectibles.
Is an object really worth the price? How do you know what to look for? What about color, finish, and form? In 1961 Charles F. Montgomery, Winterthur's first director, articulated a system for educating the eye and appraising the quality of an object. His 14 points of connoisseurship, along with additions by Winterthur curators, conservators, and educators, form an unbeatable system.
