Summary
- Bee Harford collects antique jewellery, silver, and bronzes, drawn to shiny objects.
- She advises collecting what you love for a rewarding experience.

Bee Harford, the Regional Manager for Bonhams in Yorkshire and the North East, has shared insights into her personal collection of antiques. Known for her role on BBC's "Antiques Road Trip" and "The Travelling Auctioneers," Harford admits to being a 'magpie' with a penchant for shiny objects. Her personal collection features antique jewellery, silver, and bronzes, including a cherished small Japanese crab from the 19th century.
Harford advises aspiring collectors to focus on acquiring items they genuinely love, emphasizing the joy of research and community over speculative investment. She joined Bonhams in 2021 and made her television debut on "The Travelling Auctioneers" in January 2025, followed by an appearance on "Antiques Road Trip" this month.
This contrasts with advice from Natasha Raskin Sharp, who recently suggested investing in Macallan whisky and Rolex watches. Sharp also expressed a desire to find a rare linocut by Lill Tschudi, highlighting the diverse interests within the antique-collecting community.
