Hawkins & Hawkins


I came across this article in Vogue March 2009 (a bit later than March as I borrow Vogue from the library). What an inspiration. It is very rare to find another young woman interested in the antique world, especially one with such a keen eye, unbridled passion and a sense of humour. She has carved out a niche in this particular market in the United Kingdom. Her website is http://www.emmahawkins.demon.co.uk/ Coincidently, her father is Mr Hawkins of J.B. Hawkins Antiques http://www.jbhawkinsantiques.com/ You may remember that he featured briefly on an episode of ‘Auction House’ when Dunbar Sloane came calling. I remember he had a beautiful box filled with greenstone jewellery that the Sloane’s were very keen to sell on his behalf. I haven’t seen them at auction yet…
