Fascinating curios and decorative objects, brought to you by Ashley Calvert.
With the seemingly endless variety of unusual and fascinating objects presented everyday, no two days are the same.
As a child, Ashley was captivated by found treasures. He’d spend his days digging up the garden or mud larking on the River Thames in search of precious objects. He recently found out that his ancestors were antique dealers, so it seems fair to say that this profession was written in his DNA. In his early days of collecting, Ashley took some of his favourite objects to BBC’s Antique Roadshow when it stopped in his hometown. The expert told him that he had a keen eye for special objects, fueling his fire to continue doing what he loved most. Fast forward, he now has over 15 years experience in collecting and trading antiques, brocante and curios objects, with a particular passion for 20th century glass. At Catawiki, Ashley combines his comprehensive knowledge with a keen eye for detail. He gets most excited about the quirky and unusual; finding items that are hard to identify, and discovering what they actually are.
