Deals with life in antiques, from priceless eighteenth-century dining tables hidden away in decaying farm sheds to tattooed gypsies with a penchant for Wedgewood china, and more. This book talks about a world in which the most valuable antiques frequently turn up in the most unlikely places - and accompanied by the most unlikely people.

From priceless eighteenth-century dining tables hidden away in decaying farm sheds to tattooed gypsies with a penchant for Wedgewood china, professional auctioneer Philip Serrell has seen it all. In "An Auctioneer's Lot", he brings to life a world in which the most valuable antiques frequently turn up in the most unlikely places - and accompanied by the most unlikely people. For over thirty years, he has uncovered a huge range of priceless (and occasionally worthless) antiques, and he has met, done business with and befriended people from the farthest corners of English life - normal, eccentric, sometimes lovable, often baffled and occasionally terrifying. Funny, startling, poignant and above all true, these stories of ordinary people with extraordinary possessions are the perfect inspiration for anyone who's ever wondered whether they might just be sitting on a fortune. What's in your attic?

Philip Serrell has been an auctioneer for over thirty years and is well known as one of the experts appearing alongside David Dickinson on BBC TV's Bargain Hunt.
