Duncan Campbell, Head of Silver, joined Dore & Rees in 2023 and curates two successful Fine Silver auctions per year.
Having been fascinated by hallmarks as a child, Duncan got his first proper introduction to antique silver working for a well known silver dealer on Portobello Road while still at university in 1987. After graduating, Duncan worked for a Merchant Bank in the City for a few years before the attractions of his Saturday job, inevitably, were too compelling Duncan has spent the last 30 years immersed in antique silver
As a valuer he has catalogued collections for, among others, The Middle Temple, Lloyds of London, The Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers, The City of Nottingham Museum and The Institution of Mechanical Engineers
He has appeared regularly as a specialist silver valuer on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, having started on the same show, Hertford College Oxford, as Fiona Bruce, in 2008
As a dealer, after running his own stand on Portobello Road Duncan moved to the west
Campbell
country in 2001 and has had a specialist antique silver shop in Bath since 2010. After 12 years of retail, it was time for a change:
“I have always had a hankering to put on a really good silver sale and so the opportunity to host a specialist silver collectors’ auction at Dore & Rees, alongside all my Antiques Roadshow friends, is too good a prospect to pass up. ”
Duncan comments:
"There will always be a helpful photograph that we didn't include. I will respond personally to all online requests for useful additional shots and descriptions. "

We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored.
The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i e “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice
For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation
Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable
Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers
