Find out about the use of genuine antique marks. Spot signs that indicate an antique has been restored. Discover makers and styles to look out for, and whether an object should be kept, or not. Includes expert advice on makers, questions to ask, tips for identifying the best examples in furniture, ceramics, glass, silver, dolls, teddy bears, textiles, and more. With hundreds of photographs that reveal every detail of each piece and every period from baroque and rococo to art deco and modernism, you'll soon know exactly what to look for. Antiques Detective will give you the skills to buy, sell, and collect antiques of all kinds, and in all kinds of places. Review: A good guide to get the amateur started - a very good general guide to help spot the genuine antique at auctions. It in no way will make you an expert but will serve to point you in the right direction. There is a very good section on china markings which is something that we have not had a lot of experience in but due in part to the large number of them, the section on silver hallmarks is quite small and very limited ( I do note that Judith does have a separate book specialising in these). I would say that this is a worthwhile addition to the collectors library, especially for the beginner, as it will not bog you down in information. and you are able to become familiar with a specific field with some ease due to the clarity of text and multitude of photographic examples. Review: Great for the beginner who wants to learn to appraise commonly found items. - I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She loves routing around at carboots and wanted top learn a bit more. She has read this book from cover to cover and made notes in the little book she carries around with her from it. It is by no means comprehensive but covers the most likely items, marks and condition reports you are likely to find. There are many illustrations and instructions on how to read and find makers marks etc. This is a great book for beginners or the curious person who wants to find out the basics. For experienced antique hunters you probably know most of the content by now so it won't be much use to you. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 663,924 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 70 in Antique & Collectable Furniture 179 in Antique & Collectable Jewellery 180 in Antique & Collectable Reference & Price Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 168 Reviews | ## Images ![Antiques Detective: Tips and tricks to make you the expert - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91mi0dBdO+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good guide to get the amateur started *by M***M on 25 February 2017* a very good general guide to help spot the genuine antique at auctions. It in no way will make you an expert but will serve to point you in the right direction. There is a very good section on china markings which is something that we have not had a lot of experience in but due in part to the large number of them, the section on silver hallmarks is quite small and very limited ( I do note that Judith does have a separate book specialising in these).

It does not go in to great detail about items but it gives you a good idea what they are worth. A good companion book for referencing, but if you need a vast amount of detail this isn't the book for you. Well presented, well thought out, well laid out, swift delivery and the boyfriend loves it . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/48308549-antiques-detective-tips-and-tricks-to-make-you-the-expert](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/48308549-antiques-detective-tips-and-tricks-to-make-you-the-expert) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-11-08*
