The world of collecting and collectors is a curious one….and it’s where I’ve spent most of my life. I’m Stuart Holbrook and as President of Theriault’s - the world’s leader in the auction of antique dolls and figurative art – I’ve traveled the world managing this often personal and always wild experience of collecting and being a collector. Now, I’m bringing my expertise and knowledge of trends to life in my new podcast - The Curious Collector. In each episode, I’ll be sharing my experience - and experiences - of real-life stories alongside sage advice on how to build great collections within the happy life of a collector. No matter what you collect – whether you’re just beginning or have been at it for years – I guarantee this podcast will surprise you, enlighten you – and yes, even sometimes shock you at times– but always help keep the fire burning to find that next elusive item.
