Join Duncan Campbell for a talk on processes involved in silver and metalwork conservation, what impacts this conservation, and how to look after silver and metalwork. This will include practical advice for owners, and what to look out for in condition when buying.
The ticket price includes a complimentary glass of white wine / prosecco or soft drink alternative.
About Duncan: Having been fascinated by hallmarks as a child, Duncan got
his first proper introduction to antique silver working for a well known silver
dealer on Portobello Road while still at university in 1987. After graduating,
Duncan worked for a Merchant Bank in the City for a few years before the
attractions of his Saturday job, inevitably, were too compelling. Duncan has
spent the last 30 years immersed in antique silver.
As a valuer he has catalogued collections for, among others, The Middle Temple, Lloyds of London, The Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers, The City of Nottingham Museum and The Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
He has appeared regularly as a specialist silver valuer on
the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, having started on the same show, Hertford College Oxford, as Fiona Bruce, in 2008.
As a dealer, after running his own stand on Portobello Road
Duncan moved to the west country in 2001 and has had a specialist antique
silver shop in Bath since 2010.
