Step into the world of antiques and fine art with the fastest hour in radio as Jeffrey Burchard, president of Burchard Galleries in St. Petersburg, Florida, returns for another engaging episode of the Burchard Galleries Antiques & Fine Art Call-In Show on WGUL 860 AM Tampa Bay. With his signature warmth and decades of expertise, Jeffrey kicks off the show by welcoming listeners and sharing how to participate—whether by calling 877-969-8600, texting photos to 727-560-5333, or visiting burchardgalleries.com. He spotlights a stunning rosewood tantalus with marquetry inlay, complete with decanters and cordial glasses, explaining its historical role as a secure liquor cabinet for the elite. A highlight of the episode is caller David’s heartfelt conversation about his recent trip to Ireland, reconnecting with family roots and inquiring about Irish country collectibles, folk art, and early 20th-century homestead items. Jeffrey dives deep into the market, sharing real-time research on high-value Irish pieces like Regency giltwood mirrors, specimen tables, and George III furniture, while recounting his own thrilling buying adventures in Buenos Aires—filling a 40-foot container with Art Nouveau treasures, bronzes, and bargains from flea markets. The conversation seamlessly transitions into promotion of the upcoming two-day auction on July 18th and 19th, featuring over 1,000 lots including a massive folk art and country collectibles collection (advertising signs, carousel horses, wooden fishing lures, grain-painted furniture, and a rare Masonic Hall sign), estate jewelry from the Jackie Streed collection (including a spectacular 14k gold diamond pavé necklace appraised at over $26,000 opening at just $7,500), museum-quality original artworks by Juan Manuel Hernandez, a Marc Chagall lithograph, Peter Max mixed media, and impressive Robert Weiland marine-life bronzes. Jeffrey passionately explains the auction advantage— no reserves on most items, global bidding via LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable, and the thrill of naming your own price—while offering practical advice for estate liquidators and first-time attendees. Listeners are encouraged to explore the full catalogs online, join the mailing list, and attend in person for the discovery auction on Saturday and premier auction on Sunday.
