Toxic Chemicals in Furniture and Fabrics in the UK - with Delyth Fetherston-Dilke & Sharon O’Connor
Sharon O’Connor returns to the show bringing with her a fellow upholsterer, Delyth Fetherston-Dilke. The pair are here to tell Harry and Simon all about the recently published government consultation on draft fire regulations for upholstered furniture, which will involve increased use of fire retardant chemicals.
Sharon and Delyth are concerned that the harm caused by these chemicals outweighs the fire safety benefit, and believe the regulations have not given proper consideration to the re-upholstery business.

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.
Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
Music from Lemonmusicstudio
Production by David Burd
