ANTIQUES AND ART APPRAISAL DAY
October 24, 2006 | Tips from Us > Campbell River, Festivals & Events
Family heirloom, impulse buy, prized possession – have you an item you’d like to know more about? Bring it to the experts at the Antiques and Art Appraisal Day on Saturday, October 28. It’s a first come, first served event at the Campbell River Community Centre, 401 – 11th Avenue, from 9:30 am to 5 pm. For $10 (cash only please) you can have one or two items appraised, and a third item can be added for a further $5.
Highly regarded professional appraisers from two well-known firms, Maynards Antiques and Fine Art Auction House and Uno Langmann Limited, will be on hand throughout the day to give five-minute verbal assessments of such objects as paintings, carvings, fine jewellery, old silver, small furniture pieces and other items.
Maynards has been serving Canadians as an auction house for over one hundred years, and has handled numerous major private estates and collections. Two of their internationally-trained appraisers, Hugh Bulmer and Neil McAllister, are coming to Campbell River for the event. Both are regularly involved with the CBC’s Canadian Antiques Roadshow and thoroughly enjoy the experience. “You never know what’s going to come through the door,” says McAllister.
Uno Langmann has been a fixture of the art and antique market since he first went into business in 1968. His life-long love of collecting fine art and antiques has culminated in a distinguished international reputation and he is a much sought-after authority. Uno Langmann has been joined in the business by his daughter Jeanette, who grew up in her father’s gallery and began her training at a very young age. Both Uno and Jeanette Langmann have been active participants and experts on The Canadian Antiques Roadshow since its inception in 2004. Both will be in Campbell River for the Antiques and Art Appraisal Day.
Co-hosts for the event, the Museum at Campbell River and the Campbell River Art Gallery gratefully acknowledge all the appraisers for generously donating their services.
