Compiled by an international team of over 40 distinguished
consultants and writers, Miller’s Antiques
Encyclopedia is the “bible” of the antiques world. No
other book covers the subject with unmatched breadth, depth,
and authority: it explains materials, marks, and techniques;
provides clues to identification and dating; and offers
hints on what to consider when examining antiques. That’s
why contemporary collectors, dealers, and auctioneers
continue to need this outstanding and accessible resource on
everything from ancient Chinese ceramics to Art Deco
sculpture, 18th century chairs to 20th century Barbie dolls,
and Native American rugs to toy robots. It showcases
examples from across the world, giving an international
perspective on antiques and the history of design. And new
sections on Mid-Century Modern and Postmodern work make this
the must-have, expert-authenticated guide to the subject.
