James began his career in the antiques trade while studying Classics and Ancient History at Manchester University. What began as a part-time job in a Chester antiques shop grew into a passion. A chance to work as an off-screen valuer on Dickinson's Real Deal introduced him to the auction world and he later appeared as a 'Rival Auctioneer' on Channel 5's Auction Showdown.
Since joining Wilson55, James has successfully launched our Modern Art & Design sales, showcasing designer furniture, studio pottery, ceramics, sculpture, glass, paintings and prints. These dynamic auctions consistently attract collectors and design enthusiasts, with a strong interest in mid-century and Scandinavian pieces.
James' enthusiasm and expertise continue to raise the profile of these exciting sales.
These specialist sales are held four times per year. Contact James for a free appraisal of your items by filling out the valuation form, or email james.spiridion@wilson55.com
