Description

Explore the history of the nineteenth-century antique and curiosity markets with this scholarly volume from Routledge. While most studies focus on individual collectors, The Emergence of the Antique and Curiosity Dealer in Britain 1815-1850 shifts the focus to the dealers themselves. This work examines the agency and influence of these merchants as they developed during the early 1800s. Part of the Histories of Material Culture and Collecting (1700-1950) series, this book investigates the commodification of historical objects. It begins its analysis at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, a period when the role of the dealer began to change the landscape of collecting. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the art market turn and the history of how objects move from the past into the hands of collectors.

Key Features

Part of the Histories of Material Culture and Collecting series covering the period from 1700 to 1950.
