Hello, I’m Philip, and I’ve been passionate about vintage and antiques for as long as I can remember. My fascination began in childhood, accompanying my father to antique fairs where he sold beautiful and unusual pieces. It was there that I caught the antiques bug that’s stayed with me ever since.
With over 40 years of experience in the trade, I’ve spent my career buying and selling fine jewellery, antiques, and collectables. I also studied with the British Gemmological Association, deepening my knowledge of gemstones and fine jewellery craftsmanship.
Based in Chester, I now run the Bygone Vintage Roadshow — a friendly and professional team providing valuations and advice across the UK. We’re dedicated to helping people discover the stories, beauty, and value behind their treasured items.
I believe antiques connect us to history — every piece has a past, and part of the joy is bringing those stories to light. Whether you’re looking for an appraisal, interested in selling, or simply want to chat about vintage finds, I’m always happy to help.
