I was full off hope for Grays. I had chosen a small selection of my collection to be valued,as is was meant to be prestigious. The building itself is brill,beautiful and the antiques are beautiful,though pricey.
Though i will not visit Grays however,the entire thing was spolied by some of the arrogance and snobbery of some of the dealers. My stuff was sneered at,despire being solid silver and late Georgian,and had been noted by many smaller antique places to be of good quality. It was Tat according to them,and they looked at me as some sort of insolent 17 year old who should be seen and not heard. I left hastily and returned to Alfies Antique Market,which was friendlier and better priced.
For big cats in the Antique buisness,i suppose Grays is right up your street,but even if i do become the next Tim Wonnacott,Grays will have nothing to do with my buisness,as i felt like something,while is was in there,that was on the frankly snooty dealers shoes. Very disappoited :(
