"Old-World Galleries" is a vintage catalogue of antique furniture which
was on sale at 31, Baker Street, London. As well as examples of antique
furniture, this profusely-illustrated volume also includes timeless tips
and advice on identifying, cleaning, repairing, and much more; and as
such will be of utility to antiques dealers and collectors alike.
Contents include: "Useful Hints", "Staining Floorboards", "Cleaning
Furniture", "Polish", "To Remove White Marks from Mahogany", "Hints on
Furnishing", "Schemes for Sitting Rooms", "Scheme for Dainty Bedroom",
"A Few Hints on Faked Antiques", "Goods Taken in Part Exchange",
"Repairs", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming
increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in
an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of furniture.
