Collecting and decorating began at an early age and has become a life long obsession and comfort.

An example that springs to mind was arranging a cabinet of Wedgwood Jasperware against a backdrop of Chinoiserie wallpaper for my 8th birthday.

​

By the 1990s my greatest pastime was trawling the London antique markets gathering all manner of curiosities, Georgian mezzotint portraits, eighteenth century shoes,Victorian taxidermy, antique mirrors..... which organically led to dealing from Bermondsey Market in 1996 with a particular focus on  cut-steel, paste and mourning jewellery.

 

I exhibited at Kempton Park from 1997- 2020, and continue to this day to show at the Horticultural Halls Antiques Fair, Vincent Square. Also by appointment in Grays Antique Market, usually on a sofa in Shop 127, the 'salon' of PBC Fine Art.

 

The passion for all works of art, furniture, pictures and jewellery particularly of the c18th remains undimmed.There is always a new interpretation to discover, a slightly different design for a mourning ring, or a novel twist on the cresting of a Regency mirror. The quest never has to end.
