Roger Stewart is a Londoner resident in Scotland since 1967, a retired public sector manager turned business consultant turned small business owner. He has degrees in English and Business.

In so-called retirement he is taking the opportunity to realise two secret lifetime ambitions – to become an antique dealer and to become an author.

Roger's first book, Random Treasure - Antiques, Auctions and Alchemy, is a part-time amateur collector’s true account of a remarkable run of success in finding unidentified antiques and selling them on, turning an outlay of £1,500 into more than £250,000 in auction proceeds in just a few years.

Thanks again for your lovely review of Random Treasure. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Yes, I do have a plan for another book, but I haven't quite got to the stage of beginning to write it.

Among the embarrassingly large quantities of British studio pottery that I have collected over the years are pieces by around half-a-dozen 20th century Scottish potters whose work is good (or in some cases great), but who are almost completely unknown and undocumented. I believe that these forgotten potters deserve to have their reputations established alongside those of their more famous peers. So for my next book, with the working title "The Lost Potters Project", I intend to investigate their lives and write short biographies of them, accompanied by illustrations of their work.

As with Random Treasure, I'm planning to alternate the factual chapters with more reflective content. The intention will be to try to discover why and how some artists or craftspeople become famous and others of equal talent do not.

It's going to be a major project, and I'm not at all certain that I will be up to the task. So I'm not going to say "watch this space" - because you might be left watching for a very long time!

Kind regards.

Roger

Missing Monk Mystery: Chapter 3

In Chapter 3 of the Missing Monk Mystery, I continue my investigation of why the Monk disappeared from Daniel Maclise’s painting, his meaning in the picture, and who at Knebworth was responsible for his disappearance. I have five scenarios to offer, any one (or none) of which might explain the Mystery. Take your pick. … More Missing Monk Mystery: Chapter 3 Read more of this blog post »
