10th July 2017 Toby Pinn: An Auctioneers Lot

Toby is one of three directors at Clevedon Salerooms.  He is a chartered arts and antiques surveyor and has been with the firm for 15 years.  Some of us have known Toby for many years and we were not surprised when her demonstrated his expertise and entertained us Clevedon saleroomswith a delightful talk about the salerooms and his work. The Salerooms have quarterly specialist sales; antiques, interiors, collectables and jewellery sales; free valuation days and jewellery, watch, silver and gold valuation days.

He told us how he got into the antiques business and interesting facts about what sells and what doesn’t.  He pointed out that what we may have loved and cherished for many years if it is not popular will not sell at a price we expect and then later the tables will turn and may become much sought after.  

Thank you Toby for an insight into your work and the joy you experience when you find something unexpectedly valuable amongst peoples treasured possessions.
