I’m Roger Stewart. Welcome to my Random Treasure website.
Since early childhood I’ve spent much of my spare time buying, researching and selling antiques, operating on a limited budget and frequenting local auctions and charity shops. As a result, I have a house full of stuff, and a lot of stories about remarkable objects bought and sold – sometimes with extraordinary and spectacular success in the saleroom.
I have written about some of the stuff and told some of the stories in my blog on this website and in my book Random Treasure – Antiques, Auctions and Alchemy, published by The Book Guild Ltd.
I hope you enjoy your visit.
“I always feel a skip of pleasure when your stories appear on my feed”
“The best antique book I have read, every dealer collector should read it”
“I have just finished your book, and can truthfully say I have never got more enjoyment from a printed text. It was gripping from beginning to end, and absolutely fascinating”
