Do you know what your treasured antiques are worth?  To discover their true value, you need look no further than the world's bestselling antiques price guide.

First published in 1979, Miller’s Antiques Handbook & Price Guide 2018–19 has been fully revised and updated, with 8,000 new images. It is considered the essential guide to buying antiques, online, at auction and in antiques shops and centres. Introductions and special features explore the changing nature of the antiques market, such as the falling price of traditional 'brown' furniture, and the sharp price rises in Asian antiques and mid-century modern pieces.

All 800 images in the Miller's Antiques Handbook & Price Guide 2018-19 are new for this edition

In addition to this, the fifth edition of Miller’s Antiques Encyclopedia has been thoroughly revised to reflect current market conditions, with an updated source directory and price codes. Compiled by an international team of more than 40 consultants and writers, it is filled with carefully curated, reliable content.  All the most popular areas of collecting are featured, with extensive sections on furniture, ceramics, silver and glass, and specialist fields such as jewellery, scientific instruments and oriental art.  First published in 1998, Miller’s Antiques Encyclopedia has sold over 150,000 copies worldwide, and has taken its place as a cornerstone of the antique enthusiast’s bookshelf.
