Antiques Anonymous

In a nod to Halloween, Jon and Alexander talk around a few spooky and grisly subjects in this slightly extended episode, but not before popping open a bottle of Jack Daniels and catching up with their latest exploits. Jon has a bulging set of shelves and is now in selling mode, while Alexander is looking forward to a rest after a gruelling month of auctions, the SOFAA dinner (not to be confused with a sofa dinner) evening previews and weekend filming. Warming to murkier themes, they talk cursed sideboards, the exacting art of the hangman, and the Victorian's odd obsession with vampires.Contact your hosts by emailing [email protected] the show on social MediaInstagram @antiquesanonymouspodcastTwitter @antiquesanonpodMusic creditAlchemists Tower - Strings by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100632Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Jon and Alexander tackle some juicy antiques issues but (spoiler alert) utterly fail to get around to the main topic as promised - values and valuations. Well, maybe next time. But they do, however, alight on the use and misuse of A.I. in the antiques world, the thorny issue of postage and packing, lose the plot with a seemingly cryptic email and then go on to talk about paintings, toys, drums and guns. As well as noodles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What has Jon swapped out his faithful VW Transporter for? Who are SOFAA and do they have anything to do with couches? Who would pay £1,200,000 for a packet of curry sauce? These questions and more may or may not be satisfactorily answered in this episode as your antiques-addicted hosts ramble through a range of topics and play a few games along the way. Clearly Jon's tolerance of Alexander's love of puns is wearing thin, but he perks up significantly at the sight of bikini-clad maidens posing either side of a ludicrously expensive and historically questionable piece of furniture. What the heck-fire is going on?

This episode is driven by listener emails, taking Alexander and Jon on a ramble through the issues of 'antiques flight' - English and French antiques leaving our shores by the shipload and ending up in America - through to the allure of handmade marbles. Along the way there's a return of the ATG Pun Down and in 'Did They Get It Wrong', Jon airs his opinion on toy dealers and collectors.

In Episode 16, Jon and Alexander talk about corner cupboards, why furniture is always at the end of an auction (well, mostly) and why timed auctions are like Marmite. They also discuss the ongoing antics of Sexy John Rolfe, see the welcome return of 'Did They Get it Wrong' and introduce a new Antiques Trade Gazette featurette. All this and also having time to talk about yet another Titanic watch.Don't forget to help the show by leaving a review on you podcast dispenser of choice and if you feel that way inclined, contact Jon and Alexander in the following ways:Email [email protected] @antiquesanonymouspodcastTwitter @antiquesanonpod Hosted on Acast.
