New Book - Celebrating Canada: Decorating with History in a Contemporary Home



My friend Peter Baker, of Peter Baker Antiques, has recently released a book that was years in the making...


Celebrating Canada: Decorating with History in a Contemporary Home




The book was written to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Canada's confederation and the 375th anniversary of Montreal. Follow Peter as he takes you on a history tour of Canada through objects and the story of their artists and of Canada. He highlights a variety of antiques for every budget, and where they can best be showcased in any modern home.

Peter was a selected expert for BBC Antiques Roadshow when they visited Toronto and Ottawa in 2001, and then as an expert appraiser of Canadiana and Folk Art for the Canadian Antiques Roadshow while it aired. 

Peters book Celebrating Canada: Decorating with History in a Contemporary Home is available in most bookstores as hardcover and as an ebook for most formats. It is available in two editions, English edition and French edition.

If you look at it at Google Books there are some excerpts available, click on the book for viewing. When you get to the blank pages, scroll down to the index to see what else is there.
