The Impact of a Snap General Election on the Antiques Trade

Harry and Simon return in the wake of the Prime Minister's announcement of a snap general election to discuss the impact it could have on the antiques trade. The pair also chat about mental health in the antiques trade and how you can support others. There's also the forthcoming auction at Lyme Bay to talk about where Simon has some amazing items including a large Taxidermy display of over thirty birds and animals by Ward & Co, a Robert Mouseman table, and a set of limited edition Edward Bawden linocut prints.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.

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.
