This vintage book contains a detailed guide to the furniture of Duncan Phyfe, one of the most popular cabinet designers of the nineteenth-century. Complete with historical information and descriptions of notable pieces, this illustrated guide will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in antique furniture, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature.

In a country of junk-filled attics, yard sales, and flea markets frequented by millions of Antiques Roadshow viewers hoping to uncover a grungy chest of drawers worth millions, the Keno twins have become the Siskel and Ebert of antiques. Dapper, witty, and in their early forties (with nearly 60 years of combined experience between them), they symbolize the union of amateur enthusiasm and acute professionalism that has made their television program a cultural phenomenon. Now, in this fascinating collection of tales of their personal adventures hunting -- and discovering -- priceless "junk" (including some notable Roadshow success stories), readers will learn how to see the extraordinary in the mundane. "Hidden Treasures" is part history lesson and part treasure map for finding valuable antiques where they would be least expected.
