Collecting and Antiques
These days it seems that everything is collectable, from matchbox labels to cut glass, from postage stamps to old silver.
Is there a treasure in your attic? Is that brown pot full of marigolds a collectors' piece? Is your baby cutting his teeth on a priceless piece of silver? John BIy , FRSA, can tell you all about your chairs and chattels, your saltboxes and silver; David Battie will give a name to the potter who made your vases - and fill you in on the details of your 19th- and 20th-century items.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
