Hardback. Etat : Good. Behold, a portal to the past that?s somehow managed to linger in the shops longer than a gremlin after midnight??Oriental Antiques In Colour? by Michael Ridley, a veritable treasure trove of dusty delights and questionable taste! Published in the illustrious year of 1977 by Blandford Press, this book boldly ventures into the world of finer things with all the subtlety of a peacock on roller skates. If you?ve ever pondered the profound significance of a Ming vase or the existential crisis tied to a lacquered box, then this is the tome that answers absolutely none of those questions! In bright, glossy pages that promise to transport you to a realm of heritage and craftsmanship?provided you can ignore the fact that it might just be a glorified catalog?it seems Ridley took it upon himself to enlighten us about objects that your great aunt Myrtle may or may not have claimed to have acquired on her travels to the Far East. This book is not just a guide; it?s a vibrant celebration of things most of us can only dream of affording, or at least dream of having a reason to own. If you happen to find yourself at a dinner party, you can casually drop phrases like ?Jadeite is simply unparalleled in its depth of colour? and watch as your less-educated companions nod in agreement, utterly baffled. Ah, the joys of Oriental antiques! They serve as a perfect metaphor for life: beautiful to behold, often steeped in history, and not always what they seem. This splendid volume features a cavalcade of photographs that are vying for your attention like a toddler hyped on sugar, while Ridley?s text meanders with the grace of a cat on a hot tin roof. You might even wonder if some of these antiques were stolen from an aristocrat?s attic or simply misplaced in a shabby second-hand shop in the early 20th century. The mystery only adds to its charm, much like the author?s own hair style in the accompanying author photo, which seems to be a tribute to an unexplained mishap involving static electricity. As you thumb through the pages, you may find yourself contemplating the following profound moments of self-reflection: Why do I keep buying books on antiques when I can?t even keep a houseplant alive? Is it time to start a collection of things I?ll never understand? Do I need to acquire a taste for Peking opera to truly appreciate these items? Am I just one step away from becoming a hoarder? What exactly is the difference between an antique and a really old piece of junk? And let?s not gloss over the fact that the year 1977 was a time of unique fashion choices and questionable home décor decisions, which only adds a layer of nostalgia to Ridley?s work. The book itself is a time capsule, where you?ll see the artistic sensibilities of an era that thought mustard yellow and avocado green were the height of style, and where the concept of ?minimalism? was yet to be invented. Every page practically screams, ?This is what your grandparents? living room looked like!? Condition: Good, but that?s relative, isn?t it? The cover exhibits the light creases and scuffs akin to a well-loved chair in a corner of a crowded pub. The binding is sturdy yet forgiving, allowing it to splay open at the delightfully unexpected spots where Ridley waxes poetic about the intricacies of porcelain production. Pages may have a hint of yellowing, reminiscent of the finest aged cheese, which only enhances its vintage charm! Indeed, this book has been read, possibly by someone who may or may not be a distant relative of Ridley himself, making it all the more interesting. So, if you?re looking to impress your friends with your newfound knowledge of Oriental antiques, or simply want to feel vaguely superior while sipping tea from a chipped mug, look no further. Grab your copy of ?Oriental Antiques In Colour? as sold by Crappy Old Books, and get ready to bask in the warmth of antiquity?ironic or otherwise! N° de réf. du vendeur 3105
