Dating / Background
Published in April 1998 by Brant Publications, this issue appeared during a period when The Magazine Antiques remained one of the most respected voices in the antiques field. Articles from this era continue to be cited by collectors, dealers, curators, and researchers because they preserve scholarship, provenance discussions, and collecting knowledge that is often difficult to locate online.
Why Collect

For collectors of American decorative arts, porcelain, folk art, lighting, and antique reference material, this issue remains a useful addition to a working library.
