PATRON: Henry Sandon said he had seen some extraordinary things during the identification day at the Museum of Royal Worcester, in Severn Street
ANTIQUES expert Henry Sandon made a couple of surprise finds at an identification day at the city’s porcelain museum this time last year.
The Antiques Roadshow star said he was ‘thrilled’ to encounter two Royal Worcester Porcelain Watteau figures with a potential value of £1,000. He said one lady started shaking after he told her that two of her 18th century dishes were worth around £2,000 each.
Gilder Ken Russell was also at the evaluation day, at the Museum of Royal Worcester demonstrating his craft. He said that the key to his job was a steady hand and good eyes.
