E29 - The Diamond Rings & The 91 Year Old Bride

Today on the pod Harry and Simon actually talk about antiques and collectables instead of trying to inflict pain on each other. Harry tells us about a very nice large octagonal cut peach sapphire ring that is coming up for auction while Simon tells us why he's living in fear of the WI. The items they chat about include hand cranked Victorian printing presses and some exciting lots that could be from the set of the upcoming Great Expectations TV series. There’s also a very grown up discussion about who has the most diamonds and where the removals teams like going for afternoon tea.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
