If you enjoy the nationally-acclaimed PBS series Antiques Roadshow and wish that it would come to your locality, you will want to journey to Lexington, Virginia, on Saturday, June 3rd. On that day, Historic Lexington Foundation (HLF) will sponsor its second annual Antiques Appraisal Day to raise funds in support of its historic preservation work. Noted appraisers from throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia will provide antique owners with accurate information about their objects¹ age, history, and value, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at Washington & Lee University¹s Evans Hall, located on Washington Street, one block west of Lexington¹s historic business district.
Ken Farmer of Ken Farmer Auctions and Appraisals in Radford, a frequent guest appraiser on the Antiques Roadshow, is expected to lead the HLF team of appraisers. “Ken has been particularly helpful to us as we have grown our annual event in support of historic preservation in Lexington,” notes Anne Riffey-Buckner, HLF Trustee and Appraisal Day co-chair.
HLF is also pleased to announce that one of its trustees, Patricia Loughridge of Loughridge Appraisals Ltd. in Richmond, will participate in the appraisal. A former Graduate Fellow at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, and Curator at the Stonewall Jackson House, Ms. Loughridge specializes in antiques and decorative arts.
