‎Dating Chinese Porcelain from Facial Features and Adornments - A handbook for dating Chinese porcelain.‎

‎, Published by Tommy Eklof, 2013 Hardcover with illustrated cover, 165 pages, 30x21cm. very richly illustrated with coloured illustrations, fine condition!. *new. ISBN 9789163733376.‎

‎A handbook for dating Chinese porcelain from facial features and adornments for museums, collectors and dealers alike. To arrive at a stylistic chronology in the rendering of facial features of people in porcelain decorations, the author has collected and categorized more than 3900 faces of men, women and children in Chinese porcelain decorations, dating from the 15th century until present day. The book contains: *Facial features and adornments described and dated in diagrams "quantity/year": - different outlines - 18 hairstyles - 27 headgear - 10 adornments - 6 clothes * 29 different categories of faces (men, women, children) described and dated in diagrams (quantity/year) with 12 faces examples for each gender for the most categories. Total more than 800 faces shown. * about 100 examples "copy versus authentic" to train the eyes. * advices to new collectors. The author is active as board moderator for the world's largest English language Chinese porcelain Internet site, "gotheborg". Some voices: "This book is a milestone for dating Chinese porcelain, for museums, collectors and dealers alike." "One thing that also sets this book apart from most other publications is the massive research and the number of pieces that has gone into its making. We are not talking about a few samples, not even a few hundreds of samples. The samples for this one counts into the thousands. This is not an idea, or a 'suggested direction of further research' etc., this is the thing.!" "It overwhelms me in every sense. Now I have a good reference at hand to date the porcelain by faces. A good guide mark for every porcelain lover, a milestone for dating porcelain." "I am more than pleased ! You have mastered what I think is the basis of true international language the ability to communicate simply. The format of simple text and great pictures works wonderfully well when trying to assimilate knowledge. You have nailed it!" "This is a refreshing change, although I am English I have to sit with a dictionary to fully understand some of the older classic reference books and the archaic language used by oxford graduates! This is a reference book for all, well done!" " A significant weapon in the armoury against confusion, misinformation and fakery!". ‎

‎Buildings of To-day and To-morrow - A Review of Modern Construction - An Illustrated Review‎

‎Trollope & Colls Ltd, London, 1924. 1 volume folio, modern burgundy leather covers, 38*25 cm, 78 pp., with many full page photographic plates of buildings built by Trollops and Calls, all over the world, a very good copy. A very large (105 x 38 cm) folding panorama of "The Bund - Shanghai", large folding map (55 x 51 cm) of Some of the Buildings Erected by Trollope & Colls in the City of London, occasional spot of foxing, all text pages and plates present and attached in sound, tight binding, no tears.‎

‎"The object of this book is, in the first place, to review the past and present activities of the firm Trollope & Colls, and at the same time to direct attention to the fact, as will be seen from the following pages, that the scope of the Company's business is not limited to building and public works contracting at home and abroad, but embraces the highest class of decorative work and furnishing, both for ships and for buildings." .Trollope & Colls was one of the premier construction companies of its time, noted for many landmark buildings both in Great Britain and overseas. Some of their London projects were: the Institute of Chartered Accountants (1892), Claridges (1897), the Baltic Exchange (1903), and Lloyds Bank in Lombard Street (1931). They also designed rooms on luxury ocean liners, several of which are illustrated.The section on China is quite impressive, with the large folding panorama of the Bund and 10 additional photographs of significant buildings in Shanghai. The 10 photographs are: Octagonal Hall in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, Glen Line Building, Lay-Out of Plant, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Main Banking Hall, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Interior, Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, Granite Front Nearing Completion, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, The Completed Building, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Interior, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Another View of Interior, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, The Folding Panorama of the Bund shows the location of these buildings and the Yokohama Specie Bank, which the firm also constructed.‎
