There is more to antiques than their aesthetic appeal. Each piece is the product of its time, demonstrates the skill of its maker — and became the proud possession of its first owner.
Pursuivant Research exists to supplement the descriptive information of a piece and set it into a historical context. It is run by Luke Schrager, who is also the author of the 'Research Snippets' listed on the left.
Despite his youthful appearance, Luke has been involved in setting up a commercial heraldry website, organising the archives of a famous school, as well as working on several collections. His more formal qualifications are degrees in History (St Andrews) and Art & Design (London).
He can be contacted via Schredds.
