The Antiques Trade Gazette reviews our forthcoming Hawkins Zoomorphic Exhibition: ''... Matters of political correctness and good taste are irrelevant: these items (predominantly 19th and early 20th century in their origin) offend gloriously. The exhibition is both erudite and antiquarian...''  ATG, 22nd May, 2010, p. 31.

Recent article on the art market in The Antique Trade Gazette.

'Antiques rise as investors seek shelter' http://www.harrislindsay.com/news-press

Article in the Financial Times in October 2009.

"The arts and antiques market has held up well under the duress of the recession with many investors looking for a safety net for their savings."

 

"Prices for traditional arts and antiques are continuing to outstrip those for contemporary work as investors look to shelter savings by buying safer assets."

 

"Those turning to the arts and antiques market are concentrating on the more stable and traditional markets, which tend to hold their value, or at least pose less risk."

 

"The credit crunch has had a positive effect on niche markets, with buyers putting money into quality goods in all areas as an alternative to the banks."
