Step into the vibrant world of antiques and hidden treasures with Jeffrey Burchard, the passionate and experienced host of the Burchard Galleries Antiques & Fine Art Call-In Radio Show on WGUL 860 AM Tampa Bay. Broadcast live during Memorial Day weekend, this fast-paced, entertaining hour feels more like a lively party than a traditional radio program. With over 40 years as a respected antiques and fine arts auctioneer at Burchard Galleries in St. Petersburg, Florida, Jeffrey brings his infectious enthusiasm and deep expertise to listeners across the region. He encourages everyone tuning in to pick up the phone and join the fun — whether you’ve discovered something special while thrifting, inherited family heirlooms, or simply have items sitting in your attic that you’ve always wondered about.

In this episode, Jeffrey showcases real listener submissions in real time, including a fantastic thrifting find from Dan: a pair of signed Joseph Hoffman Wiener Werkstätte brass compotes that spark an in-depth discussion on Art Nouveau design, Austrian craftsmanship, and current market values. He also evaluates Gail’s fascinating Civil War-era treasures, including a 1865 first-edition leather-bound History of the Civil War in the United States by Samuel Schmucker and a rare 1780 issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette, offering historical context and realistic auction expectations.

Jeffrey shares personal stories from his decades in the business — from flea market days and U-Haul loads of estates to surprising jewelry discoveries containing hidden 14K gold pieces among costume collections. He educates listeners on valuable categories like Highwaymen paintings, Art Deco and Art Nouveau jewelry, bronze sculptures, and important Florida art. Throughout the show, he passionately promotes the power of professional auctions, explaining how items can far exceed expectations when exposed to the right international audience.

Listeners also get an exciting preview of Burchard Galleries’ upcoming June 13th and 14th auction, featuring a spectacular Longboat Key estate. Highlights include luxurious Versace furnishings, French ormolu-mounted and boulle-inlaid pieces, vintage bronze sculptures, Louis XV and XVI-style furniture, ornate marble pedestals, rare cocktail shakers, and a dramatic P.E. Garand lobster motif floor lamp. With no minimums and no reserves on many items, the auction promises high energy, big crowds, and incredible buying and selling opportunities.

Whether you’re a serious collector, casual thrifter, estate executor, or simply curious about what your treasures might be worth, this show delivers valuable education, honest appraisals, and genuine excitement. Reach out today — call 877-969-8600 to join live, text photos to 727-560-5333, or email mail@burchardgalleries.com. Discover how Burchard Galleries can help transform your forgotten items into meaningful value at their internationally recognized auctions in St. Petersburg, Florida.
