Join host Jeffrey Burchard on the Burchard Galleries Antiques and Fine Art Call-In Radio Show for an engaging hour of discovery, expert insights, and live valuations from the heart of Tampa Bay. In this episode, callers share remarkable finds, including a signed Norman Rockwell trial proof artist print featuring a couple by a cuckoo clock—complete with authentication tips on pencil signatures, indentations, and print quality. The show dives deep into an upcoming two-day, no-reserve auction featuring over 1,000 museum-quality lots from prestigious estates, highlighted by 158 pieces from a $2 million Versace-themed condominium on Longboat Key. Hear dramatic stories of lowering massive gilt sofas and marble sculptures via crane from the eighth floor, alongside stunning Philip & Kelvin LaVerne embossed metal furniture (like the Chan pattern coffee table), Meissen porcelains, Louis XVI dining tables, Chippendale silver services, 19th-century bronzes, and more. Listeners are treated to jaw-dropping collections from callers like Peggy and Lois—including walls packed floor-to-ceiling with artwork (possibly including H. Katz cat paintings), hundreds of Steiff and designer bears, ornate Tiffany-style peacock lamps, chinoiserie cabinets, and Oriental treasures filling a 4,800 sq ft home. Jeffrey encourages consignments of silver, fine art, jewelry, and bronzes while guiding viewers to live catalogs on LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable. Packed with practical advice, auction strategies, and the thrill of the hunt, this episode captures the excitement of uncovering lost treasures destined for the international fine art auction arena. Don’t miss the action next weekend at 2522 30th Avenue North in St. Petersburg, Florida!
