Summer 2011/12 (Issue 43) out now:
Have we got some summer reading for you! The Summer 2011/12 edition of Antiques and Collectables for Pleasure & Profit is crammed full of great editorials, just perfect for the holidays.
To get you in the mood for the seaside we’ve got a story all about the saucy English postcards that were banned in the 1950s. Then there’s a feature on royal commemoratives, just in time for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June. Plus we look at the history of children’s magazines in Australia, and Antiques Roadshow expert Eric Knowles presents the gorgeous perfume bottles of Rene Lalique.
Specialist dealer and author Greg McDonald highlights some important Australian commemorative coins, and there’s also a feature on the delightful French doll.
Glass gets a mention, with a feature on the history of Orrefors and an assessment of the glass market by specialist dealer Aleta Curry. We take a tour of some of the most interesting antique shops in Adelaide, and there are sharp words from a Grumpy Old Collector.
There is a delightfully illustrated feature on 3-D Valentine cards, and specialist dealer Robert Neilsen gives an insight into the flambé of Royal Doulton. We also take you on a tour of the amazing East Riddlesden Hall, and present a behind-the-scenes look into the ever-burgeoning market for Chinese decorative arts.
There are stories on dairy cans, Johnnie Walker, the perfume atomiser, monk’s benches and lots more, too much to mention…
