Legend of the industry, antiques silver specialist, researcher, dealer, and BBC Antiques Specialist, Michael Baggott joins Harry and Simon on the podcast this week. He’s here to tell his story, how he got into antiques, moving with the times, YouTube, and how TV demystifies auctions for the general public. Michael also shares his takes on what is selling right now and what isn’t, as well as why the market changes when you might not expect it.

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.
