Michael Baggott returns to the podcast to tell Harry and Simon all about the Antiques Rescue Centre and the work they do around preserving items made with ivory that can’t be sold. Find out about what the ivory ban actually is, how the government is falling short, what happens to unwanted antiques made with ivory, how Michael and the ARC are trying to preserve cultural history, and what you can do as a member of the public or someone in the antiques trade to support this.

ABOUT THE PODCAST 


The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.


Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.
