Cameos - Old and New (Hardcover)

This practical reference work is the first book to describe the history, art, manufacturing, collecting and appraising of cameos. Starting with the famous, elaborate works of antiquity, Miller brings us to the latest techniques of today, with an emphasis on assessing the value of a piece. She draws on original research and interviews with artisans in Europe, USA and the Far East. This book should be of interest to antique dealers, collectors, jewellers, lapidarians and the general public.
