A native of Baltimore, Elyse Luray attended Newcomb College, the women's college of New Orleans' Tulane University, graduating in 1989 with a degree in art history. During a career of more than a decade as an expert appraiser and consultant for Christie's Auction House, she was also displaying her expertise on select episodes of PBS' popular object-appraisal show, Antiques Roadshow and subsequently became one of PBS' History Detectives, solving mysteries surrounding the origins and backgrounds of pieces of history submitted by individuals who, in one way or another, discovered or came into possession of photographs, documents or other objects of an unknown or uncertain provenance. In addition to the PBS shows, she has also participated in Home & Garden Television's historical-home program If Walls Could Talk, as well as co-hosting 2009 Endless Yard Sale. She also hosted Treasure Seekers, a cable/satellite program that shows her travels to antiques shows around the country in order to display and evaluate objects of historical significance and/or interest. Her specialties include pop culture, mixed media, weapons/armor and Native American art, and she is also a regular contributor on vintage arts and pop culture for the magazine Antique Trader.[1]
