Antique Dealers: Buying, Selling and Collecting. Curator Tours.

Join curator Mark Westgarth for a tour of "Antique Dealers: Buying, Selling and Collecting".

Discover three leading antique dealer firms whose archives were donated to the Brotherton Library: Phillips of Hitchin, Ronald A Lee, and Roger Warner. These rich archival sources are reunited with objects that the firms bought, sold and collected.

See this extraordinary material alongside decorative art pieces from Temple Newsam. View objects never before seen in public from the private collections of the Warner family.

There will be two tours taking place on Wednesday 1 May as follows:

  • 12:30–12:50
  • 1:00–1:20
Exhibition display including coloured tiles in a glass display cabinet, a green Queen Anne decorative chair and other decorative arts objects
