This is a specialized identification guide for collectors, featuring antiques expert Eric Knowles as the primary consultant. Originally published in 1991, this pocket-sized reference is designed to help both enthusiasts and professionals identify and date genuine pieces from the Victorian era. The book uses a unique question-and-answer approach to guide the user through the process of authenticating an item. The guide covers a wide range of Victorian antiques, including furniture and small decorative items ("smalls"), ceramics, glass and metalwork, textiles and silver. Eric Knowles, known for his work on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, provides guidance on identifying fakes and assessing damage. The book includes colour photographs to aid in visual comparison and identification of stylistic features. The book is still considered a valuable fieldwork tool today, as it is small enough to fit in a pocket, making it ideal for visits to auctions or antique shops.
