Use of the Blacklight in Identifying Antiques - Antiques with Gary Stover

A black light can often be a useful tool for identifying and dating antiques and works of art, and it can often help determine whether repairs have been made. In this week's show we'll look at how a black light can be used to detect repairs to porcelain, determine whether glass is period or a reproduction, date textiles, authenticate dating on cast iron and painted wood furniture, and consider ways a black light can be used to examine works of art and other works on paper.
