If you’re faced with clearing out a shed or a barn, ordering the skip is usually the first step – but this could be a mistake. Those items which “might come in useful one day” can be worth serious dosh.
“Reclamation” and “salvage” are no longer the sole province of totters and scrap metal dealers.
All our contributors are very discerning and some will show keen interest in the most unlikely objects.
It may look like a bit of old farm machinery or the tattered remains of a loose box, but to the experts it’s “vintage industrial” or “architectural heritage”- and there’s a thriving market.
We have 328 contributors interested in Architectural items, of whom 31 are particularly keen. They’re all over the UK, but in Herefordshire, Rupert Woods is the guv’nor
(www.englishsalvage.co.uk) and in the east, Robert Kinsella is the resident expert at T W Gaze
(www.twgaze.co.uk/auction)
So before you consign it to landfill, simply click on our “Architectural Antiques” or “Ephemera” categories, and have a quick word with an expert near you.
