Best General Resource on Wine Antiques

For anyone who collects wine antiques, has discovered a wine antique, or a dealer who has found one, this is a "must have" resource. Butler and Walking have thoroughly covered the wide range of wine antiques, silver, glass and much more. The emphasis is Georgian, but there is so much more. This is the best base reference for the wide field of wine antiques and a must have for anyone who has an interest in the field, whether a collector, student or dealer.
