Some 36 works will be on sale at prices from around £800 to £12,000 and these encompass the quirky mix one associates with this dealer.
A cow weather vane, rare pieces of primitive (and not so primitive)
furniture, a half-hull ship model, trade signs and decoys are just a sample.

ANTIQUE folk art specialist Robert Young’s distinctive stock has found favour both here and in America, very often at fairs, but from May 14 to 22 you can see some choice pieces displayed on his home patch at the fifth annual exhibition at his showrooms at 68 Battersea Bridge Road, London SW11.
