NEW YORK – Around this time every year, antiques and collectibles fans look forward to adding the new edition of Kovels’ Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide to their reference libraries. The Kovels are, quite simply, the most trusted source for both the casual and expert collector, and their price guides are considered essential tools toward building or increasing a knowledge base. The 53rd edition (2021) of Kovels’ Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide by Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel (Black Dog & Leventhal) is now available, and it’s packed 11,500 descriptions and carefully researched prices, and 3,000 full-color photographs. It also features exceptionally well-organized, wide-ranging, and up-to-the-minute information, and includes more tips, marks, logos, and photographs than any other competitive title.
“The Kovels are arguably the authorities on antiques and collectibles in this country.” – Los Angeles Times
Kovels’ is the only guide with prices based on actual sales from the previous calendar year, never estimates or routine percentage add-ons year over year. It is the only price guide available that covers the U.S. market from top to bottom and features affordable American classics — antiques, collectibles, and design used in American homes since the 1800s.
The book is organized by categories most sought-after by collectors, including Depression glass, dolls, jewelry, furniture, porcelain, tools, and movie
and sports memorabilia. Indexes, cross-references, and expert commentary throughout its pages empower readers to collect with confidence and price their own antiques to buy, sell, or downsize.
“What the Kovels don’t know about antiques isn’t worth knowing.” – House Beautiful
An exclusive report on recent record-setting prices is included, as well as insider information, collecting tips, and fakes alerts. This year’s special center section, “Collecting Trends: Iconic Designers of Twentieth-Century Lighting,” showcases sought-after 20th-century lamps, chandeliers, and other lighting fixtures.
