Jonty Hearnden

Jonty is an expert antiques dealer, who gained experience managing the Lots Road Galleries before becoming an independent dealer. On screen Jonty is loved as one of the experts on the BBC’s ‘Cash in the Attic’ and ‘Sun Sea and Bargain Spotting’.

Jonty joined Bonhams London in 1979 – 80. The following year he travelled independently through 13 different countries, including New Zealand, Australia, China, Nepal, Burma and India. On his return he re-joined Bonhams to be a furniture cataloguer, and from there went onto manage Lots Road Galleries, a London auction room.

In 1990 Jonty became an independent furniture dealer and now runs a successful antiques business, Dorchester Antiques, in Dorchester-on-Thames Oxfordshire. He specialises in 18th and 19th century furniture and decorative objects.
