Young dealers made a welcome appearance this year including 16-year-old Tom Hurst, the youngest member of Antiques Young Guns.
Still at school, Hurst has created and marketed his range of marble doorstops, made from offcuts found at marble yards. His branding skills are impressive as the doorstops are marketed as T.O.M, Totally Original Merchandise.
In Norfolk, fair organisers Claire and Philip Crosthwaite have acquired some ‘antiques young guns’ of their own at the long-running Hingham Antiques Fair with five young local dealers, all under 30, standing regularly at the events.
