About Peter Young

Peter Young was an auctioneer for almost sixty years. Specialising in Antiques and Fine Art, he was initiated into the profession as an articled pupil to the leading and well-respected Nottinghamshire auctioneer Rupert Spencer. Gaining experience through farm and livestock sales, weekly cattle markets and chattels auctions, interactions with a rich tapestry of characters, he realised that a combination of auctions and antiques would provide the ingredients for an interesting and rewarding career. Upon qualifying he has worked with a diverse group of people, including media personalities and members of the aristocracy. He was involved in the production of ‘Going For A Song’ a leading antiques roadshow shown on the BBC in the 1960s with the renowned antiques experts Arthur Negus, Sir Mortimer Wheeler and Max Robertson. Media experience extends to regular appearances on both local and national television and radio. He has hosted a guest spot on the BBC roadshow bus, identifying and valuing antiques. He has appeared on Look North and Calendar as well as numerous radio stations both local and national. Since retiring from the hectic world of auction sales, Peter retains a full diary having turned his talents to lecturing and after-dinner speaking. He currently heads the Three Counties Art & Antiques History Society which meets on the first Thursday of each month at Ye Olde Bell, the premier 18th century coaching house in Barnby Moor, Nottinghamshire. He is a regular guest speaker for Fred Olsen and Saga on their world wide voyages, being a popular raconteur, giving light hearted and fascinating insights into the world of Art, antiques and auction sales delivering his humorous tales to full audiences.
