Antiques Anonymous

Heavy on the ASMR, in this episode Jonny and Alexander open a bottle of Rioja and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps while discussing the latest news in the world of antiques. The rambling convo involves Christie's dropping digital art, Sotheby's massive losses and the Thornhill collection's new (temporary) home. Jonny also reveals why he doesn't like Moorcroft or Della Robbia while Alexander tries to disagree agreeably. Alexander reveals what he's been up to in Leeds and Nottingham in the last few weeks. And Jonny remembers how Alexander has a hilarious pet name for his wife. Don't forget to rate and review on your podcast dispenser of choice.

Jon and Alexander are BACK and finally in double figures! Yes, episode 10 is all about trends (a theme suggested by a lovely listener) from the Hollywood style and how it can be overdone (yes, Mr Trump we're talking to you and what you've done to the oval office) as well as Seiko watches, generation Z, streetwear, urban art, Labubu Monsters and NFTs. There's a return of 'Did They Get It Wrong' and plenty of ASMR as your two hosts slurp beer and wine and munch on Monster Claw snacks in celebration of making it this far.

Introduced by the great King Donald 1st of America, Jon and Alexander catch up on what they've been up to for the last seven months and rake over the remnants of what might have been a great show in January, predicting 2025 with laser precision, had the boys actually managed to be professional and coordinate their diaries. They also talk about those companies that thrust grubby pamphlets through your door promising top cash for gold and antiques and making out like selling at auction is a really bad thing.

Back again after another long gap with episode 8 of the Antiques Anonymous podcast. In this episode, Alexander gets a bit serious about stress in the workplace and how important reaching out to a friend can be. We hear why a power cut and a jigsaw puzzle led Alexander to bid live on a coffee table and in their usual 'Did They Get It Wrong' segment, he reveals his dislike of Mickey Mouse (quick and terrible impression alert) and then on to the main topic this time - prints - as suggested by a listener. As they ramble on, Jon comes clean about his art degree and the hosts disagree agreeably in general about various artists including John Piper, L.S.Lowry, Tracy Emin, Albrecht Durer, Kathe Kollwitz, Damien Hurst (ugh) and Banksy. We also get an insight into Alexander's misspent youth 'studying' graffiti art. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The podcast by two guys who are a little bit addicted to antiques. Jon and Alexander are back in the Torpedo Room for another rambling chat, this time about the gradual disappearance of the weekly general auction. Is it on the way out or is there still a future for this time honoured and well loved part of the antiques trade? We hear about what Alexander used to get up to in the back of his Ford Mondeo in the good old days, Jon expresses his dislike of specialist auctions and reveals how he'd do it if he ran his own saleroom, and Alexander risks offending the entire nation of Australia. Plus, your hosts reveal the topic of the next ep.
