A must-have reference for any serious collector or dealer, The Lyle Official Antiques Review 1977 is the authoritative annual guide that presents a comprehensive survey of the antiques market as it stood in the mid-1970s. Compiled by Margo Rutherford and edited by Tony Curtis, this volume catalogues thousands of antique items across a vast range of categories — from furniture and ceramics to silver, glass, and decorative arts — complete with accurate market valuations drawn from auction results and dealer prices of the era. Illustrated throughout with detailed drawings by a team of talented artists including Peter Knox, Stuart Barton, Jane Barton, Alison Morrison, and Norma Tweedie, it serves as both a practical pricing tool and a rich visual record of period pieces. As one of the most trusted titles in the long-running Lyle series, this edition holds enduring significance not only as a collector's resource but also as a fascinating historical document, capturing the tastes, trends, and valuations of the antiques world at a specific moment in time. The Lyle annuals became essential companions for auctioneers, dealers, and enthusiastic amateurs alike, earning a reputation for reliability and breadth that few rivals could match. Whether used as a working reference or as a nostalgic window into the collecting culture of the 1970s, this volume rewards every reader who has ever wondered what the past was truly worth.
