What is The Collecting of Antiques about?
Only articles of aesthetic appeal are considered in this volume, which is addressed to discriminating collectors, who sometimes like to read about what they already know, and to beginner-collectors, who have just started on their quest for artistic treasures. Consequently, this book treats of such types of china, silver, glass, furniture, metal-work, and textiles as belong to the Decorative Arts, while such types as belong to the Industries of a nation are not represented. This will explain the omission of Sandwich Glass and Hooked Rugs, which, although enjoying present popularity with some collectors of Americiana, cannnot possibly be classed with beautiful objects de luxe able to pass all the canons of elegant and fastidious taste.-pg. vii
