James Gooch Biography – James Gooch Wiki

James Gooch is an antiques dealer, owner of Doe & Hope and star of BBC1’s The Bidding Room. Doe & Hope specialise in decorative, rare & unusual antiques and fine art from around the world with a particular interest in the atmosphere that surrounds an object, taking a cinematic approach in the presentation of their inventory. Their house style is probably best described as theatrical; being a concoction of old money, dramatic decorative, and faded gentility, with common themes of both humour and the macabre running through their inventory, that includes both academic and playful objects.

Doe & Hope is a member of LAPADA, the UK’s largest association of professional art and antiques dealers. The store was included in Homes & Antiques ’50 Best Antique Shops’ in the UK for 2016. Over the years Doe & Hope has supplied many large film and television productions with key pieces including the very popular Game of Thrones. The antique shop also had a concession in the prestigious Liberty of London department store in 2015.

Originally from Bedford, the 39-year-old antique and fine art dealer attended the University of Arts where he studied film for 4 years. He then worked in TV for a few years, namely at the BBC, Endemol and ITV, before joining Lovefilm and Amazon Prime. He gave up his TV career to pursue a love of antiques first working in antique shops, then setting up his own store.

James told Studio 73: “Not quite sure of the next step but knowing I had a keen interest in antiques, I got a job working two days a week for an antiques dealer and rented myself a container at £120/month to start trying my luck at buying and selling a few things myself. Back then, I actually worked in a local pet shop to make up the days in between! Over time, my understanding and knowledge grew and I established Doe & Hope in 2008.”
