Antique Evaluation Evening

At a recent fund-raiser for the Chester Garden Club, members arrived carrying special treasures from their homes to be evaluated by Wayne Cameron, a qualified appraiser and dealer in antiques. Surveying the various objects arranged on the viewing table, it was clear that members owned a variety of interesting objects.

Items ranged from porcelain china to wooden boxes to sculpted objets d'art and Wayne did a thorough job of examining each one and clarifying the points that added value to the item.

Wayne's erudite and humorous comments as he described each "treasure" added to the evening's entertainment. A wine bar, along with coffee and finger food, provided refreshments to enliven the three-hour session and, as one participant reported later, "A good time was had by all. "
