Bunny Campione
Bunny Campione (born Carolyn Elizabeth Fisher; c. August 1946)[1] is an English antiques expert known for her many appearances on the long running BBC television programme Antiques Roadshow,[2] on which she has appeared since 1987.
Daughter of Squadron Leader Francis Colborne Fisher, of Mudeford, Hampshire,[3] and Iris (née Stewart), sister of British actor Stewart Granger, Campione became known as "Bunny" as a young child after she was given a coat that had a hood with rabbit ears on it; she also later collected soft toy rabbits. She studied at university in France and worked at the Bear Lane Gallery in Oxford for a year.[4] She then worked at Sotheby's for 23 years gaining a wide knowledge of antiques firstly in the furniture department and then the collectors' department.[5]
She was a senior consultant to Christie's, London until 2001. She lives on the Essex/Suffolk border with her husband Iain Grahame, whom she married on 7 July 2002.[6] She runs her own company, Campione Fine Art, buying and selling antiques on behalf of clients. She has a particular interest in, and knowledge of, automata, bird-cages, corkscrews, dolls, dolls' houses, miniature and early furniture, and soft toys.[7]
