Unrivalled in its scholarship, the book is invaluable as an aid to identifying examples of decorative woodwares in antique shops, at auctions or as exhibits in museums or galleries. The author, Dr. Brian Austen, is a leading authority and well-known lecturer on the history of furniture and decorative arts in the UK.

This work is without doubt the ultimate guide to collecting Tunbridge Ware. It guides the reader through the history behind the ware, the explosion of the Spa town, the manufacture and constuction of the pieces and the ultimate decline of the industry. As a dealer in Tunbridge Ware I find this work in almost daily use in my shop in and would recommend it to the novice collector and the expert alike.
