Antique Evaluation Saturday

Many of us have followed the “Antiques Road Show” on television hoping to spot a familiar family heirloom worth enough money to change our lives. At the Henry B. Plant Museum we have our own “Antiques Road Show” called Antique Evaluation Saturdays. Seven Saturdays a year skilled appraisers donate their time to evaluate the community’s possessions.

Bring your favorite treasures to the Music Room in Plant Hall at The University of Tampa for a verbal evaluation. At 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 20th, local appraisers will be available to answer your questions. Evaluation cost is $5.00 per item, which goes to the restoration and renovation of the museum. There is a limit of four items per family. Tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis, and will be sold between 10:00 a.m. and noon. If furniture is too large, bring a good photograph and a drawer or door from the piece, if possible.

Some or all of the following appraisers will be present.

Nancy Hilbert–Collectibles

Jay Hunter Loiselle–American paintings, furniture and Americana

Ashby Moody–Maps, silver and documents

Frances Redell-White–Paintings, prints and art

Barbara Smith–Jewelry

All proceeds benefit the Henry B. Plant Museum. Parking is available in the Faculty and Staff parking lot on the west side of Plant Hall.
