Incorporating antique furniture and art into a modern home may seem like a contradiction, but Karin Laserow shows just how easy it can be. Highlighting the rich traditions of Swedish furniture and other decor, this full-color guide begins by explaining the basics of antique furniture, from style histories to the nuanced differences of Baroque, Rococo, Empire, Gustavian, and Art Nouveau, with striking photographs throughout. Readers are taught how to tell the difference between old and new, how to evaluate antiques, and how to determine whether repairing, repainting, and refinishing are worthwhile decisions for protecting antique investments.
