Celebrating the Life of Michael Baggott

Recently we lost a dear friend and much beloved member of the antiques industry. Michael Baggott was kind enough to appear on the podcast multiple times to share his knowledge and his humour. In this episode, Harry and Simon celebrate the life of their dear friend Michael, reflecting on his impact in the antiques industry and sharing fond memories from their time together. We have also added clips from previous episodes which highlight Michael's passion for antiques and stories will leave you cackling with laughter. Michael, you will be sorely missed. If you'd like to hear Michael Baggott talk at length about both silver and the ivory ban, those episodes can be found in our back catalogue.Michael's book 'As Found: A Lifetime in Antiques' is available here - https://yorkbookshop.com/film-radio-and-tv/448-as-found-a-lifetime-in-antiques.htmlCONTACTthegavelandthegabble@gmail.comInstagram @thegavelandthegabbleTwitter @GavelandGabble TikTok @laughingauctioneerwww.windsorauctions.co.ukwww.lymebayauctions.co.ukABOUT 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.
