Uwe Dobler - Barock-Möbel

Battenberg Antiques Catalogues

A practice-orientated reference work on Baroque bourgeois furniture art with a focus on German-speaking countries. The book provides in-depth knowledge of the ornamentation, construction, use of wood and surface techniques of Baroque furniture, supplemented by a comprehensive glossary and a full-colour catalogue section with numerous comparative examples.

Particular attention is paid to the stylistic classification of regional production centres, the distinguishing features of original pieces and the differentiation from replicas. Uwe Dobler - restorer and long-standing consultant to leading auction houses - combines technical expertise with market-orientated assessment.

The work is a helpful tool for both experts and interested collectors for the identification, preservation and style-critical evaluation of Baroque furniture.
