As part of the Year of the Dealer digital film trails launch (see previous post), we are going to post some weekly updates for those following and watching the Year of the Dealer films. As you may know, there are 50 antiques highlighted in the Year of the Dealer films, so that’s just under one per week for the full year of the Year of the Dealer.
And so, each week we are going to reveal some of the stories, images, ideas for each of the film- things that never made the ‘cut’ or that we could not include for various reasons – a kind of behind the scenes look at the making of the Year of the Dealer.
In anticipation of that, here is a preliminary to the first of the YoD posts – we show here (below) Patrick Bannon, who is a photographer and film maker in Yorkshire and was the camera man for all the Year of the Dealer films. Here’s Patrick at Lady Lever Art Gallery filming our ‘What is an Antique?’ film with Fiona Slattery Clark, Curator of Decorative Art at National Museums Liverpool.

We will still be posting our usual antique dealer research updates on the Blog too of course, but watch out for the next in our behind the scenes of the Year of the Dealer next week!
