I am not a collector of antiques by any strech of the imagination, and don't do it to make money as we never sell any of them. I just like buying things that i know very few other people will have, or simply becasue they are beautiful just to look at for whatever reason.
Its the whole thrill of being there too. Such great characters. Its a great way to spend an afternoon, sitting on a settee thats about to be sold, drinking tea and watching everyone buy crap
