After-dinner Speaker
Eric is an Antiquarian expert on fine arts and antiques. He has written books on subjects such as Victoriana, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Royal Memorabilia. Eric is an excellent after-dinner speaker and raconteur who, in his after-dinner talk, provides a witty and entertaining overview of all things antique!
Stage Show
He can offer a unique two-hour stage show called What It's Worth? Guests can bring heirlooms and treasures for on-stage discussion. They can see their objects brought to the screen, courtesy of a web-type camera allowing a more detailed view and appreciation in the valuation session. The show consists of a meet and greet session and welcome, followed by an anecdotal talk from Eric, supported by excellent images. The second part of the evening is devoted to the audience's 'treasures', 25 of which have been selected by Eric during the initial meeting and greet session and welcome party.
