Judith Miller began collecting in the 1960s while a student at Edinburgh University in Scotland. She has since extended and reinforced her knowledge of antiques through international research, becoming one of the world's leading experts in the field. In 1979 she co-founded the international best-seller Miller's Antiques Price Guide and has since written more than 100 books, which are held in high regard by collectors and dealers. Judith Miller appears regularly on TV and radio. She is an expert on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow and co-hosts the popular BBC series The House Detectives, ITV's Antiques Trail, and Discovery's It's Your Bid. She has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and CNN. She is a regular lecturer and contributor to numerous newspapers and magazines, including Financial Times, BBC Homes & Antiques and House & Garden. She has lectured extensively, including at the V&A in London and the Smithsonian in Washington.
Miller (Miller's Costume Jewelry) updates her stunning guide with revised prices and new items, some of which have appeared on Antiques Road Show. The book consists of 23 major categories defined by object composition or use, such as "metalware" or "textiles." Pages are divided into seven to nine shadow box-style segments, each featuring a crisp object photograph, the item's dimensions, its current value, and a succinct description. Half-page sidebars, highlighting items "Judith Picks," offer a brief history of featured objects and an explanation of their exceptional quality. Although this is a best-of resource, not covering attic knickknacks, it is an alluring look book with inherent educational value. (c) Copyright 2011.
