Bunny Campione is one of the best-known and most-loved faces from the long-running BBC series 'The Antiques Roadshow', where she specialises in dolls, doll's houses, automata, birdcages and corkscrews, amongst other esoteric fields. She gained a wide knowledge of antiques working at Sotheby’s for twenty-three years until 1996, firstly in the Furniture Department and latterly in the Collectors Department, followed by a stint as a Senior Consultant for Christie’s until 2002. The group of twenty lots included in this sale encompass two of her favourite disciplines - antique birdcages and miniature furniture - and include pieces she has enthusiastically collected throughout her life, from several prestigious outlets such as Jeremy Ltd.
