Some fantastic antiques up for auction this week, from a quaint German folk art Noah's Ark to a dazzling vintage Cartier necklace, and even a poignant relic from World War I, Harry and Simon guide you through the eclectic array of items up for grabs. But it's not just about the artefacts, Harry shines a light on the heart-warming work of the charity Chat Club and Simon pays tribute to a dear friend. Mervyn was a passionate jewellery enthusiast with a colourful personality and unwavering generosity.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.  Music from Lemonmusicstudio Production by David Burd As a listener to the Gavel and the Gabble podcast you can SAVE 30% on your Antiques Trade Gazette subscription.
