One of television’s favourite antiques dealers will be returning to Cambridgeshire this month looking for the ‘Real Deal’.

Simon Schneider, best known for his many appearances on ITV’s Dickinson’s Real Deal, is coming to St Ives, Chatteris and Cambridge.

He is inviting people to bring along their unwanted treasures and will be offering top cash prices for gold, silver and quality antiques.

He has featured in every series of the hit antiques television programme Dickinson’s Real Deal and all five series of Secret Dealers.

Simon said: “I have been touring the country in response to the demand I receive from the public wishing to sell their valuables.

“I have hundreds of highly satisfied clients and I am looking forward to returning to Cambridgeshire, where I hope to unearth some unusual and interesting items.”

Simon is encouraging people to search through their attics and cupboards and bring along anything that they think might be of interest.

Simon said: “I love those occasions when I see the surprise on someone’s face when I tell them their broken jewellery or grandmother’s old vase is worth a lot more than they ever imagined.

“It’s amazing how much a few broken gold chains and odd earrings can be worth.”

When asked what he’s most hoping people will bring in, Simon said: “I’m always keen to purchase jewellery, gold and silver and I’m particularly interested in oriental items.”

Simon added: “It is impossible to list all the items I am interested in buying, if you think you have something of interest bring it along, it costs nothing for me to take a look.”

Simon is holding home visits from 10am on Monday June 10. Call 07801474331 or email info@simonschneiderantiques.co.uk
