About this podcast
Hello and welcome to Antiques Anonymous, the podcast where two friends who work in the antiques industry, talk about antiques, collectables, fine art and plenty more besides. Hosted by auctioneer Alexander Clement and antiques dealer Jon O'Marah, the chat will include top auctions, top lots, top tips and plenty of inside intel, anecdotes and maybe even some gossip. If you are an antiques geek, like Alexander and Jon, then join them for their rambling and sometimes incoherent podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
