Adam, a member of The Oriental Ceramic Society of London, shared: “I’m excited to uncover some truly special pieces. There’s always something thrilling about discovering objects with a rich history, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see the look on someone’s face when they realise their item is more valuable than they thought. If you’ve got something at home you’re curious about, I’d love to take a look.”
Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers, added: “This is a fantastic opportunity because Adam brings over 40 years of expertise to the table. While his focus is on Chinese and Asian ceramics and art, he has an impressive depth of knowledge across all types of antiques and collectibles. My team and I will also be on hand to assist, whether it’s ceramics, coins, curios, militaria, toys, or fine art.
“These events are sure to be memorable and a lot of fun for antiques enthusiasts. Not only will visitors enjoy the stunning surroundings of our Georgian saleroom at Bishton Hall, with its beautiful gardens, but they can also treat themselves to homemade cakes and refreshments in Sparrow’s Tearoom. Or, of course, receive a warm welcome at our Derbyshire HQ.
“You never know, you might experience one of those incredible ‘finds’ you often see on TV, where the value of your treasure exceeds your wildest expectations. If you’re happy with what you hear, we can consign your item to auction on the spot. No appointment is necessary – just bring your treasure along and enjoy the day!”
