Marc Allum Antiques Roadshow
Marc Allum is a miscellaneous specialist on the BBC Antiques Roadshow. He joined the ‘Miscellaneous’ team on the Antiques Roadshow in 1998.
The most memorable finds for him are not necessarily the most valuable ones, but the quirky or rare items that you never expect to turn up. Examples include models of totem poles carved by the Haida people of British Columbia, Neil Armstrong’s camera, and Napoleon’s briefcase.
If he could choose a dream item to come in it would have to be something imbued with a mythical status – perhaps a lost treasure from the curiosity cabinet of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II.
