As everyone is on their summer holidays Producer David has put together a best of episode featuring clips from the archive. Listen in to hear Adam Hills from design and reclamation company Retrouvius tell Harry and Simon the differences between reducing, reusing, and recycling. There's also clips of Harry and Simon chatting about amazing finds including a seemingly one of a kind Rolex, beautiful jade earrings, and the pair tell you why listing your item at a lower start price might actually get you more money at auction.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found.

Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.

There's also all the usual chat about the interesting items that have come through both auction houses including a monk's skull and and a one of a kind item from Harrods.

Harry and Simon delve into the details of Simon's upcoming surgery and its potential impact on the auction house. They also revisit the recent sensational sale of Lionel Messi's napkin contract, which fetched an astonishingly high price. The discussion then shifts to new legislation on animal ivory and the implications of the upcoming election for the industry. Tune in to discover the identity of a celebrity visitor at one of the auction houses and, more intriguingly, whether they turned out to be as charming as hoped.
