BRYN MAWR, PA — November 12, 2026 — Veteran antiques expert and restorer John Swahn has announced the release of his new book, The Truth About Antiques, available now on Amazon.
Drawing on more than three decades of hands-on experience and work with over 6,000 clients, Swahn's new book pulls back the curtain on the art and science of evaluating historical objects. Rather than relying on external stories, price guides, or specialized tools, The Truth About Antiques teaches readers a practical, forensic methodology. It trains collectors, dealers, and buyers how to read the physical evidence left behind by craftsmen in the wood, joints, hardware, and finishes of genuine pieces.
