Valuer
As a child Annia could be found rummaging in forgotten boxes in dusty corners of attics, or with her nose in an antiques guide.
Her main passion is for antique textiles, vintage clothing and accessories. Her self taught knowledge has led to a special focus on the 1930s through to the ’50s.
She is also interested in a range of mid-century items including ceramics and anything slightly unusual.
Annia leads our Textiles auctions and works with Garth on cataloguing the Antiques, Vintage & Collectables auctions.

Rob is an expert in volumes of all types. He provides valuations and catalogues our regular rare book and antiquarian volumes auctions.
