In the highly volatile and uncertain market for antiques, art and collectables it is important to have an up-to-date source of information - this book provides just that. The relevance of the highs and lows of the American market is becoming ever more pertinent for antique dealers and collectors in the UK and the rest of Europe. The 2005-2006 edition of The Pictorial Price Guide to American Antiques showcases a selection of approximately 4,000 individual objects in full colour sold recently in the United States at auction. The objects included date from the seventeenth century to the mid-1950s, and range from the relatively common to the rare, from clocks and watches to toys and textiles. The format provides an accurate market value of items sold at auction throughout a twelve month period. Prices realised have been based on actual sales records from a variety of the most highly respected auction houses in America. This visual method of pricing makes the book indispensable to anyone interested in the field of antiques and collectables; it is recognised as one of the most authoritative and up-to-date references on the market.
