Description

Explore the history of the nineteenth-century antique and curiosity markets with this scholarly volume from Routledge. While most historical studies focus on the activities of individual collectors, this book shifts the perspective to the often overlooked roles played by dealers during the period of 1815-1850. Set against the recent art market turn in academic literature, this study examines the agency and influence of dealers as they emerged in the decades following the Napoleonic Wars. It provides a detailed look at the commodification of historical objects and how these professionals shaped the trade. This work is an essential resource for those studying material culture, the history of collecting, and the development of the British art market.
