[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4308007, member: 5066"]It all depends.:) Nationality for one thing, most (not all) furniture collectors collect from their home country. Styles, there are different strokes for different folks, EA, colonial, federal, victorian, mission & Shaker are the main collectible styles here. Within each of those styles there is good, better, best, masterpiece to quote Sack. There are plenty of books, blogs, museum research centers, etc to learn the particulars of each style. Nothing is more important than the value of a trained eye, one is almost forced to choose a specific style & focus there if you want to separate the wheat from the chaff.[/QUOTE]
