Bless the copyist and the deceiver he who's works go unrecognised, hiding his talents behind the greats.
My Mum got me into antiques when I was nipper with my Dad checking everything for woodworm, I really love the skills of the artisan whatever is their chosen expression. I started bidding at auctions aged 10… I would be worth a fortune today if I still had everything that has passed through my hands…
