Albert Ford II, Antiquities Expert
Albert’s background reads like a page out of Who is Who in the rarified world of antiquities. While studying in London as a young man, Albert began collecting English porcelain, silver, and British furniture of the Regency period at the Victoria and Albert Museum until his flat could hold no more. As a result, he began exporting antiques to the United States, specifically the Boston area, where he opened an antiques gallery business in 1965.
This business quickly became a hub for antiques dealers, auctioneers, and retailers interested in good quality English, European, and American antiques. For years, Albert imported treasures to America while buying antiques throughout New England, the South, and Canada. He joined the American Appraisers Association and the Appraisers’ Registry of New England and became an international appraiser working for attorneys, insurance companies, adjusters, museums, historical societies, schools, private citizens, and the United States Government Bureau of Internal Revenue.
After closing his Massachusetts antiques business in 2009, Albert continued to do appraisals and lecture on three continents. He is currently the head of the Appraisers’ Registry in the United States.
