Antiques Show & Tell in HWH
Wednesday, February 5, 2020 - 19:30 to 22:00TNRA is organising another antiques “Show & Tell” in Henry Wood Hall from 7.30pm to 10pm on Wednesday 5 February.
Bring along family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection, free advice and valuation by our team of experts from Dawson's Auctioneers – Mark Hill, from the BBC's Antiques Roadshow; Rachel Hutchinson, a qualified jewellery and gemstone specialist; and Harrison Goldman, who is a general valuer and handles many of the house and probate valuations in and around London.
Mark will open the evening with a brief introduction and a discussion of a few of his favourite objects. There will then be an opportunity to hear about objects brought in, find out the story behind them, learn more about how auctions work, hear some amusing and educational stories and consign some objects for sale, if you wish.
No booking is required – just turn up. Entry is free and refreshments will be served.
