Are you an amateur antiquer looking to hone in on your skills? If so, the Kelowna Art Gallery invites you to join local art and antiques appraiser, Peter Blundell, for Treasures from the Attic, on Friday, May 29th from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
By attending this event, you’ll learn how to value art, antiques, and collectables. In fact, if you’ve ever seen an episode of Antiques Roadshow, then you’ll know what to expect.
Throughout the day, Blundell will be offering his opinions on the value of antiques, collectables, and art. In addition, 15-minute-long evaluation sessions will give you the chance to bring a few of your hidden gems in for an appraisal.
Please not that Blundell cannot appraise jewellery, coins, stamps, guns, and wristwatches. However, pocket watches and swords are free-game.
Individuals with large pieces of furniture are asked to bring in a portion of the piece, along with a photograph and the item’s measurements. Items thought to be over four hundred years old cannot be assessed at this event.
The cost for a session is $40 for members of the Kelowna Art Gallery, and $50 for the general public. Partial proceeds from this event will support educational programs and exhibitions at the Kelowna Art Gallery.
Although sessions come with a price tag, the public can join in on the event as a spectator for free.
If you’d like to book an appointment, call the Kelowna Art Gallery at 250-762-2226.
The Kelowna Art Gallery is located at 1315 Water Street. For more information on the Kelowna Art Gallery, visit their website.
