The Connoisseur (magazine)

The Connoisseur (later simply Connoisseur) was a British magazine published from 1901 to 1992 that covered luxury topics such as fine art, collectibles and antique furniture. It was edited for several years by Herbert Granville Fell. The American edition of Connoisseur was published by Hearst Corporation, in New York through Condé Nast Publications, and edited from 1981 to 1991 by Thomas Hoving. During the 1970s and the early 1980s Connoisseur specialized in articles on antiques, opera and art. In 1992, Hearst Magazines announced that it would merge the monthly into Town and Country.
