BACK IN GREENWOOD NOVA SCOTIA

April 30 - May 1st & 2nd 2012

The expert antiques and art appraisers from the British Artiques Roadshow are absolutely delighted to have been invited back to Nova Scotia by the management and staff of the Greenwood Mall to appear once again this spring at the Greenwood Mall Shopping Centre in Greenwood Nova Scotia.

It was a packed three day sell out last year thanks to our gracious hosts who worked so hard to make the  Greenwood Roadshow such a success for their community.

 Canadian people traditionally have turned out to the British roadshow events in their thousands, for antiques, art and collectibles appraisals at packed roadshow events right across the Dominion. In fact ever since the first ever British roadshow event was hosted thirteen years ago in Ontario, we have been sold out with hundreds of eager hopefuls names on waiting lists. And it's no different in Greenwood Nova Scotia.

 Roadshow antiques and art appraisal events are always sold out early here in Canada with Canadians keen to find out whether great grannies heirloom is just trash or treasure.

We are confident that the second antique appraisal roadshow event held in Greenwood at the Greenwood Mall Shopping Centre, will be just as successful as last years sell out event, so make certain book your appointment early.

 Frankly, its nearly always a treasure of one kind or another that the roadshow appraiser sees and with well over $60 Million dollars worth of roadshow antiques and collectibles showing up already, the British Artiques Roadshow is looking forward to coming back to Greenwood to unravel some more myths and legends, appraise and value your family heirlooms and hopefully help and advise you professionally, pleasingly and without bias or prejudice.

Her expert antiques appraisals, valuations and invaluable advise have been delivered to in excess of two thousand people conveying over four thousand six hundred possessions. 

So what antique treasure will pop up next in Greenwood Nova Scotia?

  Senior Artiques roadshow appraiser, art historian, writer and TV personality, the Englishman David Freeman, has 39+ years of international experience and expertise to share with Canadians. He is both highly qualified and respected internationally as he runs one of the worlds largest independent art authentication agencies and holds down the title of being North America's busiest art appraiser.

 Labelled fondly by the media as the Treasure Finder General, his fantastic discoveries and roadshow finds across Canada now roll into the millions of dollars.

 A real life Da Vinci code art detective, David is consultant to many television shows including the hugely successful crime series CSI - the BBC's Hustle and Flog It and has been the subject himself of a Biography Channel TV programme. He writes and hosts Secret Britain and is to be both the subject of a television documentary series following his art detective work internationally and a new antiques TV entertainment series this fall.

 David is the author of a brand new book detailing the millions of dollars of fantastic treasures and stories found during the decade of Canadian roadshow treasure trail events across the Dominion and he has just completed his first historical novel called the Oakum Gate.

Paintings:

 We saw many fine paintings in Greenwood Nova Scotia last year, a lovely town whose natural immigration settlement to the area not only brought us in a staggering array of fine British and European works of art but also lots of Canadian art too, including the Maude Lewis below and the group of seven.

GREENWOOD GAVE US RARE PHOTOGRAPHS

How many Canadians can lay claim to owning such a rare silver gelatine photograph as this.

Wilbur and Orville Wright the Wright Flyer ( The Kitty Hawk )

And lots of Antiques and Collectibles over the 3 day event at  Greenwood

.

Furnitiure, rare glasswear, silver and ceramics.

VIOLINS and FIDDLES 

 It was only to be expected that violins and fiddles would turn up at the Greenwood Roadshow in great numbers. Included were fine examples of hand built violins by Hopf and Jean Baptiste

Colin amongst others

Avery Turner banjo at Greenwood Nova Scottia

Greenwood also gave us a beautiful example of a GIBSON L7 Acoustic Guitar hailing from 1932

This is an exceptionally rare example of a fine guitar which is likely prototypical of the Gibson L7 1933 model which went on general distribution the following year

And stacks of first editions, rare, valuable or just special Books, documents and letters

 The British Artiques roadshow kicks off its ever popular Canadian appraisals roadshow tour of Canada this April over on the east coast of Canada with expert antiques and art appraisal roadshows being held in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Moving on to Ontario and then into Western Canada and Alberta.

 With well over a decade of antiques roadshow style appraisal events across Canada behind us, the British Artiques roadshow and its expert appraisers were pleased to be asked back to Alberta in particular and we look forward to a great roadshow of antiques appraisals hosted by the Greenwood Mall for the Greenwood Nova Scotia and Annapolis Valley community this spring.

 Canadian communities have turned out to the British roadshow events in their thousands for antiques, art and collectibles appraisals at packed roadshow events across the Dominion. In fact ever since the first ever British roadshow event was hosted twelve years ago in Ontario, we have been packed. Roadshow antiques and art appraisal events are always sold out early here in Canada with eager people keen to find out whether great grannies heirloom is just trash or treasure. We are sure that the Greenwood Mall antique appraisal roadshow event will be just as successful as ever.

 Frankly, its nearly always a treasure of one kind or another that the roadshow appraiser sees and with nearly $60 Million dollars worth of roadshow antiques and collectibles showing up already, the British artiques roadshow is looking forward to coming back to Greenwood to unravel some more myths and legends, appraise and value your family heirlooms and help and advise you professionally, pleasingly without bias or prejudice.

With the information already leaked to the press that the artiques roadshow was coming to the Greenwood Mall shopping centre this spring, we're told that the phone has not stopped ringing at the Centre since last time.
