Book Description
From the back cover
This new title in the groundbreaking Miller's Treasure or Not? series is unlike any other currently available guide to collecting American quilts. Much more than a pricing manual or an illustrated showcase of beautiful pieces, this
indispensable volume is a master class in evaluating the amazing work of dedicated American quilters from Colonial times to the present.
A nationally known dealer and impassioned collector of antique quilts, Stella Rubin shows you how to look
at quilts with a professional eye and identify those factors that add or subtract from value. Features that will guide both the novice and experienced collector include:
A unique compare-and-contrast format
Professional
valuation secrets from a leading collector and dealer of antique American quilts
Full-color photographs of more than 120 quilts
Price ranges for every item
Detailed instruction on how to assess style, condition, authenticity, and
value
Expert advice on how to store, maintain, and display quilts
