"Hidden Treasures Revealed: From Folk Art Mysteries to Royal Worcester Gems & Baroness Estates – Burchard Galleries Live Call-In"

Sunday, April 12, 2026

Tune in to the fastest hour in radio as Jeffrey Burchard, your host from Burchard Galleries Antiques and Fine Arts Auctioneers in St. Petersburg, Florida, delivers another lively Sunday morning session filled with expert appraisals, fascinating stories, and actionable advice for collectors and sellers alike. This week's episode dives deep into viewer-submitted treasures, starting with an upside-down folk art painting by Kevin Walsh depicting a nostalgic 1937 Christmas Appeal village scene complete with carnival vibes and period details—complete with background on the Yorkshire-born artist's illustrative style, Harrods commissions, and modest but growing market for his busy genre scenes of American life, trains, picnics, and more. The conversation shifts to Royal Worcester porcelain sent in by listener Valerie, exploring everything from small floral-decorated pieces to the high-value reticulated lacework vases, artist-signed works by Harry Davis (including polar bear scenes), and George Owen designs that can command thousands—or even record prices up to six figures for monumental examples. Jeffrey shares real-time research from auction databases, emphasizes the importance of size, condition, and maker marks, and reminds listeners why "monumental" pieces stand out. Additional highlights include multi-generational antiques from the estate of Baroness Lisa Lett von Schwartzbeck of Austrian nobility (featuring family portraits, handwritten letters from Empress Maria Theresa, Napoleonic documents, and antique maps), Harvard professor David Hartman's Asian porcelains, English silver from the descendants of Maryland's 24th governor Thomas Ward Vesey (over 20 pounds of 18th-19th century pieces), and a lifetime pottery collection from Bob Benninger featuring rare Weller, Rookwood, and Roycroft examples straight from reference books. Don't miss the excitement around a massive storage-locker haul of over 30 George Rodrigue Blue Dog paintings, prints, and even an original on a bottle already bidding strong, plus discussions on a curved-glass mahogany china cabinet, a nocturnal lakeside oil painting, and more. Jeffrey encourages calls, texts (727-560-5333), and emails to [email protected] for free opinions—no obligation—while promoting the upcoming two-day auction extravaganza on April 18-19, 2026, at 2522 30th Avenue North (Discovery Day Saturday at 8:30 a.m. with ~400 no-reserve lots, followed by Sunday's 500+ premium items). With 50+ years in estate liquidation, Burchard Galleries specializes in connecting cherished heirlooms with passionate new collectors in the international arena.

Treasure Hunt Sunday: Antiques, Auctions & Appraisals

Sunday, February 1, 2026

for the Burchard Galleries Antiques & Fine Arts Auctioneers Call-In Show — St. Petersburg's longest-running, most electrifying treasure-hunting adventure on the airwaves, hosted by veteran auctioneer Jeffrey Burchard with over 40 years of expertise at the helm of Burchard Galleries. This fast-paced, one-of-a-kind hour transforms ordinary radio listening into an interactive quest for hidden value, where listeners from across Florida and beyond call in live (toll-free at 877-969-8600), text photos of their items to 727-560-5333, or email [email protected] to get expert, real-time appraisals in the international fine arts auction arena. Jeffrey Burchard, the enthusiastic president of Burchard Galleries — a West Central Florida institution internationally recognized for delivering quality estate-fresh antiques, fine art, jewelry, mid-century modern pieces, and collectibles to the marketplace — dives deep into the thrill of auctions, sharing blow-by-blow recaps of recent blockbuster sales at their longtime St. Petersburg location (2528 30th Avenue North). Hear jaw-dropping stories of overlooked treasures turning into big money: a tarnished 19th-century English sterling silver casserole set hidden in a breakfront cabinet fetching $2,750; dazzling black Tahitian pearl and diamond earrings from an estate selling for $750; rare Highwaymen paintings by foundational artists like Robert Butler spotlighted in upcoming catalogs; life-size Moooi horse lamps, museum-quality bronzes, Oriental rugs with sky-high knot counts, and even rescued sci-fi horror sculptures (think Jeepers Creepers and Resident Evil figures valued over $3,900 each) pulled from forgotten storage pods in dramatic "Storage Wars"-style hauls. Jeffrey educates and entertains with insider knowledge on market trends — what's soaring (like certain Highwaymen works or post-hurricane demand for fine rugs), what's cooling (mass-produced Wedgwood or over-polished silver), and how to spot authenticity, provenance, and true rarity using global auction databases few have access to. Listeners get practical advice on everything from violin bows made of endangered Pernambuco wood (prized for their spring and memory) to the difference between fantasy online listings and real-world sold prices, plus tips on "know before you sell" to avoid giving away fortunes. Preview the next monthly two-day extravaganza — a Discovery Sale packed with surprises and a Premier Auction featuring 1,000+ lots from multi-generational estates, storage locker windfalls, and consignments — complete with online catalogs, live internet bidding, and in-person excitement that feels like a carnival of treasures spilling into the parking lot. Whether you're downsizing, inheriting the "mother lode," stumped by an attic mystery, or just love the adrenaline of naming your own price to win the bid, this show delivers education, laughter, surprises, and the genuine joy of discovery. It's more than appraisals — it's a community celebration of antiques, collectibles, and the stories behind them, proving that one phone call, text, or visit to burchardgalleries.com could turn "what is this old thing?" into life-changing cash or the perfect addition to your collection.

The Antiques & Collectibles Show: From Attics to Auction Block

Sunday, December 28, 2025

Dust off that attic junk—welcome to The Antiques & Collectibles Show with Jeffrey Burchard, St. Petersburg's longest-running treasure hunt on radio! For over 17 years, auctioneer extraordinaire Jeffrey Burchard (from Burchard Galleries, the "best kept secret" in Florida antiques) spills the beans on what your grandma's "old junk" is really worth. 🏺💎

From $10 violin bows turning into pro fiddler's dreams, forgotten sterling silver casseroles fetching $2,750, to sci-fi horror statues rescued from storage pods (Jeepers Creepers, anyone?), Jeffrey breaks down recent auction steals—like Highwaymen paintings, mid-century modern gems, Tahitian pearls, and carousel horses. Learn why Pernambuco wood bows are gold, how Oriental rugs are booming post-hurricanes, and why auctions beat yard sales every time (you name the price!).

Call in live (813-282-8283), text pics (727-560-5333), or email—stump the auctioneer and discover if your "Stradivarius" is a factory fiddle or the real deal. Estate dilemmas? Downsizing disasters? Jeffrey's got 40+ years of turning clutter into cash. "Know before you sell!"

Tune in for exciting stories, caller finds, auction previews, and tips on spotting rare, unusual, one-of-a-kind treasures. Whether buying, selling, or just dreaming of that Storage Wars jackpot—join the carnival of treasure every Sunday!
