James Spiridion BA (Hons)
Asian Art, Modern Design, Glass and Pop Culture
James started out in the antiques trade while studying Classics and Ancient History at Manchester University, when a part-time job in a Chester antiques shop turned into a career. 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 he has launched our Modern Art & Design sales, which feature designer furniture, studio pottery, ceramics, sculpture, glass, paintings and prints. The sales attract collectors and design enthusiasts, with particular interest in mid-century and Scandinavian pieces.
These specialist sales are held four times a year. For a free appraisal, complete the valuation form or email james.spiridion@wilson55.com
