Join auctioneer Jeffrey Burchard on this high-energy episode of The Antiques and Collectibles Show as he promotes the big monthly auction happening today at noon at Burchard Galleries in Saint Petersburg, Florida. With more than 350 lots crossing the block—most without reserve—Jeffrey highlights standout pieces from local estates, including a stunning platinum and diamond ring featuring a 2.30-carat transitional brilliant center stone plus surrounding old European-cut diamonds (total 3.20 carats), recently appraised at $33,000 and opening at just $6,500. Other featured treasures include a massive 71-pound Lorenzo Ghiberti-style prancing horse bronze, a full-body African lion taxidermy mount standing nearly six feet tall, a dramatic 500-pound polished petrified-wood live-edge coffee table that once cost $28,000, a rare Cricut forged-steel butterfly garden bench, Southwestern sterling turquoise jewelry, Victorian and Fenton art glass, fine furniture, and much more. Jeffrey also shares practical advice on estate liquidation, house calls, online and phone bidding, and how to get items appraised, while inviting listeners to preview the sale, join the mailing list, or consign for future auctions. Tune in for the excitement of auction day at a gallery with 50 years of history and 80 years of combined experience between Jeffrey and his son Todd.
