I have been a professional archaeologist for 31years full time, with a specialist interest in metal small finds from all periods. During this time I have been employed as a Finds Officer, and Conservation Officer, as well as being involved in project management. Due to the downturn in the economic climate, and progressive Osteo-Athritis, I have had to find an alternative source of income, using my skill base, whilst not compromising myself as a professional archaeologist. I continue to work as a field archaeologist, whenever there is contract work available. I am an Associate of the professional body The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists and adhere to their code of conduct.
Therefore I decided to provide a service sourcing antiquities to clients who wish to buy for investment, or who wish to have artifacts authenticated prior to their purchase. I also source and sell artifacts from all periods, but only those from reputable dealers. Most of the artifacts come from family estate sales, or in the lesser case, items which have been recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
Services
I source and supply antiquities mostly found in the UK, and specialise in Roman coinage, bracelets, brooches, but also sell (Roman, Romano-British, Saxon, Viking),rings(as above but right up to 1950's).I also occasionally have some Roman ceramics. My catalogue is quite eclectic, and changes according to the market. I also sell at antique fairs in the North-West, and in Wales.... See more
