Compiled by an international team of more than 40 distinguished consultants and writers from North America and Britain, Miller's Antiques Encyclopedia explains materials, marks, and techniques, provides clues to identification, and offers hints on what to consider when buying and examining antiques. All the popular areas of collecting are featured -- furniture, ceramics, silver, and glass. Specialist subjects include jewellery, scientific instruments, textiles, and Oriental art.
