Pressestimmen

Antique garden statuary is a growing market closely following the insurgence of popular gardening. Instantly adding a personal touch, a statue, urn or finial carefully placed will transform a garden from the ordinary to something a little more special. But modern ornaments tend to be too "new", needing a covering of liquid manure or yoghurt to attain that patina so specific to antique ornaments. Antique ornaments already have that indefinable elegance, bearing decades or even centuries of weathering by the natural elements, making them a much coveted item in showrooms, antique shops and architectural salvagers. But how do you tell if you're being overcharged, found a bargain at a car boot sale? This is where this excellent, lavishly illustrated guide steps in. Part of the renowned Millers' series, it guides the prospective purchaser through the style, type and price of garden ornamentation from summerhouses and gates, lawnmowers and hoes, urns and finials, gargoyles and statuettes. Offering extra information in feature boxes where appropriate together with lists on further reading and where to buy and see (for the UK and USA) and a directory of manufacturers, this is an invaluable asset for purveyors and acquirers of fine antiques for the garden. - Lucy Watson

Synopsis

Furnishing a garden with antiques is fast becoming as popular as finding ornaments for the house. 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.
