Though Wayne specialises in Art Deco, Art Nouveau and the Applied Arts he also has a general knowledge with over 30 years’ experience. In 2015 Wayne became a specialist on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow. One of the things that Wayne would dearly love to find on the Antiques Roadshow would be a bronze panther by the sculptor Rembrant Bugatti. During your cruise Wayne will give two on-board talks.
