Step into the fast-paced world of antiques and treasures with Jeffrey Burchard, the charismatic auctioneer and founder of Burchard Galleries in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the Antiques and Collectibles Show airing on WGOL 860 AM Tampa Bay. For over 50 years serving the region and celebrating 40 years in the same convenient location at 2522 30th Avenue North, Burchard Galleries stands as one of the most trusted names in antiques and fine arts auctioneering. Jeffrey and his son Todd Burchard personally travel hundreds of miles weekly, making house calls to estates, collections, and even hoarders’ homes filled with hidden gems, bringing extraordinary items to their gallery for monthly two-day auctions packed with over 1,000 lots of global treasures. In this lively episode of the fastest hour in radio, Jeffrey dives deep into their upcoming premier auction weekend on July 18th and 19th, showcasing an astonishingly eclectic lineup that spans fine art, jewelry, furniture, pottery, sculpture, vintage radios, and more — all available with no reserves on the first day for incredible buying opportunities.

Highlights include three exceptional original Wyland marine life bronzes (lots 1032, 1033, and 1034), such as the captivating “Reef Visit” glass-top table with leaping porpoises, created by the world-renowned marine artist Wyland — hailed as the Marine Michelangelo — whose monumental murals and sculptures have captivated audiences globally. Other must-see items feature a stunning large Leaded Glass Canard lamp of museum quality reminiscent of Tiffany masterpieces, an impressive 18-carat Egyptian Revival Horace Falcon brooch/pendant with plique-à-jour enamel, red coral accents, and nearly two ounces of gold, mid-century modern Barcelona chairs, rare 1876 ribbon maps of the Mississippi River in original wooden cases used by riverboat captains, bronze sculptures including works by Reese Caparn, Victorian Herder Brothers parlor cabinets, a Royal Vienna giltwood porcelain-inlaid table with hand-painted plaques, a majestic 49-inch bronze Scales of Justice statue, pre-Columbian terracotta warrior figures, exquisite art glass by Tom Patti and Ken Ibsen, a highly sought-after FADA Bakelite Bullet 1000 radio, Crosley and Emerson antique radios, a Versace-inspired ornate king-sized bed, first-edition books like Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, and extensive collections of Rookwood, Weller, Pisgah Forest pottery, silver, diamonds, and estate jewelry.

Jeffrey warmly invites listeners to participate live by calling 877-969-8600 for on-air appraisals or texting clear photos (front, signature close-up, and back) to 727-560-5333. Whether it’s an old painting with a questionable brass tag, family heirlooms, or mystery items tucked away in closets, the Burchard team excels at uncovering true identities, values, and stories — often pulling “rabbits out of hats” with illegible signatures or surprising attributions. The show emphasizes that auctions are accessible to everyone: you name the price, bid from the comfort of your home online via LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable, or attend in person, turning the experience into an exciting treasure hunt where steel for cars, oil, gold, diamonds, art, and everyday objects all find new homes.
