	Fred’s interest in antique American furniture started when he and his wife Gail began restoring their 1928 bungalow in South Tampa, Florida. Their attention naturally was drawn to older and antique furniture. This eventually led to their full-time involvement in the antique furniture restoration business even though they both had corporate backgrounds.	Fred Taylor Fred’s collecting preference is American furniture from the Late Classicism period (1830-1850). The period of Late Classicism is the first generation of cabinetmakers that are neither European, English nor English trained. Fred authored the book "How To Be A Furniture Detective" and has published articles on antique furniture in publications including Antique Trader, Chicago Art Deco Society, Northeast Magazine, Victorian Decorating and Lifestyles, Professional Refinishing and The Antique Shoppe Newspaper.
