Jessica finds cash in your attic!

Jessica Wall is just as at home in her scruffs tending to her pony, goats and a variety of other animals as she is gently gliding through a Georgian town house looking glamorous as she expertly identifies objects likely to make money at auction. But that is where she is most at home – on the rostrum, gavel in hand, enticing buyers to snap up the treasures that they know they want but don’t necessarily need!

Educated at Oakham before attending Leicester University, where she studied the history of Art and Italian, Jessica had been brought up in a home in a small village where antiques were common currency. She says, ‘From an early age, my mother took me to auctions, antique shops, antique fairs, car boots, jumble sales, and charity shops all the time. When we were not in an antique shop, we would visit National Trust properties and museums all over the UK where I would get to see incredible items from all periods, and I loved every minute of it!’
