There is a wealth of garden statuary, structures, and decorative items available, much of which is within the reach of the average collector's purse. Such items have adorned gardens for centuries, and the market has increased to become a widespread and accessible collecting area. There is great scope for design and invention within garden antiques, both for the novice and for the more established collector. With newly emerging collecting areas there is often little practical information for a buyer or collector - for instance, how do you tell the difference between an early 18th-century gritstone figure and a modern Vicenza stone figure in the same style? Condition and degree of weathering probably has a greater impact on garden antiques than other categories, but just what does \"poor condition\" mean, and how much does it affect the price? These are the types of questions \"Miller's Garden Antiques\" seeks to answer. It offers a very practical approach to identifying and sourcing garden antiques.The guide is divided into the major categories of items available, such as sculpture, urns, furniture, and gates. Tools and accessories at the lower end of the market are also covered, from lawnmowers to hedge clippers to ornate weather vanes. The book is divided further into the different materials, such as stone or cast iron, allowing quick and easy identification of the piece, or type of item, of particular interest. Feature boxes highlight important manufacturers with their mark or stamp, or give advice on practical considerations such as care of your garden antiques, or how to spot a fake or a copy. To help identify materials there is an illustrated section that details the various mediums that will be encountered, and at the back of the book is a catalogue of manufacturers and classical iconography.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537016627473,"sku":"GOR001631216","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50011478262033,"sku":"GOR013836303","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51250751373585,"sku":"GOR003428860","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53477192204561,"sku":"GOR012770423","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1840007133.jpg?v=1750724318"},{"product_id":"millers-collectables-book-miller-s-9781851529421","title":"Millers Collectables","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49543689961745,"sku":"GOR003509454","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50331019641105,"sku":"GOR013929536","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/185152942X.jpg?v=1751092523"},{"product_id":"miller-s-companion-to-antiques-and-collectables-book-mitchell-beazley-editorial-sta-9781845331900","title":"Miller's Companion to Antiques and Collectables","description":"This is an invaluable alphabetical quick reference guide giving definitions for essential antiques and collectables terminology, including historical and collecting information This thoroughly practical book is more than just a dictionary to antiques and collectables, as it also provides historical and collecting information (including advice on caring for antiques) in addition to basic definitions and descriptions.

However in today's market there are many perfectly good genuine antiques at much lower prices than you might expect - you can even buy antique furniture at lower prices than comparable modern pieces.

It highlights those pieces that collectors wanting affordable antiques should be looking for. It features over 1500 antiques, illustrated in full colour with extended captions to explain the factors determining its price, and therefore this book should be ideal for the novice collector wanting to learn more about why a piece is valued at a certain price. The Look without the Price feature illustrates how to get the antique look without the price by highlighting later pieces in the style of much more expensive period pieces, while the Miller's Compares feature explains why two seemingly similar pieces can achieve different prices. There is plenty of market advice plus information on designers and makers.A team of consultants, including John Sandon and Leslie Gillham, has authenticated every piece and explain the reasons behind the values, whether it is condition, fashion, restoration or simply a bargain.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51339327996177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51339328684305,"sku":"GOR014229044","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52479232278801,"sku":"GOR002988131","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184000603X.jpg?v=1751378880"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-miller-s.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
