Some 50 pieces fresh to the market and selected specifically for this show will be on sale at prices from around £100 to £15,000, and those familiar with Mr Young’s distinctive but decorative stock will know the kind of mix to expect, although there are surprises.
Unusual indeed is a leather toby jug that will take its place alongside weather vanes, decoy ducks, painted furniture, toys, baskets, naive paintings and much else.
