We discuss a 16th Century Old Master Italian drawing on Antiques DownUnder.

We have just filmed a segment that will appear in the coming months on the second series of Antiques DownUnder where we discuss Italian Old Master Drawings. Filming took place in late 2022 at the AAADA Sydney Fair and is due to air in 2023 on Channel 9 with the possibility that the program will be sold to the BBC.

Antiques DownUnder showcases Australia’s collecting history, follow antique dealer Gregory Bickford and collector Claudia Chan Shaw as they reveal the intriguing stories behind rare treasures and curious collectables around Australia.

Everyone loves the story behind an item. Where it came from, what or whom it was made for, its value and its journey through life. The Antiques DownUnder team will be visiting some incredible and quirky collections around the country. Anywhere from a historic building to a back-yard shed; they’ll be talking to the experts, the custodians and some rather eccentric collectors. 

They explore amazing objects that have found their way Down Under or been made locally. From European treasures, homegrown ephemera and Chinese relics; to vintage cars, ceramics, jewellery from the Australian goldfields, vintage fashion and more. 

We will post an update when the new broadcast times are finalised, visit Antiques DownUnder
