The theme world of antique furniture and clocks is huge. I will probably always learn something new and still never know everything. And that is why I am so glad that there are experts and scholars who share their great expertise in their respective special fields with me and with all of us... in books!
I use books for all my research. My collection of literature on the subject of 18th and 19th century furniture and clocks comprises about 300 reference books.
During my traineeship at an auction house, working with scholarly literature was part of my daily routine—and it's something that continues to benefit me to this day. It was then that I learned how to conduct focused research and which books to consult for which objects.
Looking up literature references, which you'll find for most of the pieces in my collection, still brings me great joy. And even though I now know exactly where to look, the search often takes much longer than necessary—because once I open a book, I rarely close it again right away...
