101 Antiques of the Future

Here's an extract from the book

My wife Lesley is an avid collector of 19th-century cranberry glass. A few years ago it was becoming obvious that the collection was growing out of its show cabinet. It wasn't until an impressive five-branch cranberry glass epergne was up for auction at £700-£900 that she thought of selling anything from her treasured collection.

Within days, 15 early-day purchases from Lesley's collection were entered into my next auction. Each of the pieces up for auction had cost no more than £25. With my help Lesley raised just over ¢1,000 and became the proud owner of the cranberry glass epergne which has adorned our dining table for a good many years now.
