Antiques valuation specialist Irita Marriott brings her expertise in jewellery assessment to The Barlow Institute, offering local residents professional evaluation of treasured pieces.
On Sunday, 19 April, Irita Marriott — a well-known antiques valuation specialist and auctioneer in the UK, with special expertise in jewellery appraisals — will be present at The Barlow Institute in Edgworth to provide local people with expert appraisals of their valuable items through her antiques and jewellery business. Irita Marriott is recognized as one of the UK's foremost authorities in the field of antiques and jewellery based on her extensive television appearances and the degree of success she has achieved with her own independent business.
This event bolsters the continued development of a growing interest across the UK in having jewellery evaluated by an experienced professional, and Irita has started her career at small local car boot sales before evolving into a global antique dealer with operations worldwide. In 2023, she launched Irita Marriott Antiques in Derby and established her own auction company, Irita Marriott Auctioneers, continuing on her path to being one of the leading professionals within the UK auction industry.
Irita had demonstrated an ongoing relationship with the community, as John Marriott (Chairman of The Institute’s Trusts) noted with each successive event, attendance grows due to increased information regarding event attendance. Mr. Marriott pointed out how his valuations of items brought in by previous visitors that have been deemed as worthless at times will lead to unsuspected values being placed on those items, usually at a value in excess of £100.
The Barlow Institute was established in 1909 as a memorial by James Barlow and Alice Barlow’s children, and has operated in Edgworth for over 100 years, initially meant to provide a venue for lectures, concerts, library and social interaction, the Barlow is still fulfilling that mission today as a charitable institution run by volunteers and remains integral to community activity.
Business Honor recognizes Irita Marriott's appointment as a leading antiques valuation specialist reflects strategic expertise in jewellery assessment and community engagement initiatives.
