Tales of the brothers Rag & BoneAntique hunting adventures Author: Rag & Bone Bros
This is about how a pair of antique-dealing brothers found the antiques that fill every inch of their shop (down a back alley in North London). It's also about sleeping in vans, following old German men to out-of-town garages, discovering forgotten factories and satisfying Texan heiresses' bull fixations. Because for Rag & Bone Bros, that's what antiques dealing really is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bison hunting
Monday, 27 September, 2021
One day the Rag & Bone Bros were searching for a ceramic bison. As you do. They ended up at an all but forgotten factory -- Otto Kermaik in Rheinbach, Germany. Stepping inside for the first time felt like they were stepping back to the 1960s and the heydays of West German pottery. Nothing about the factory had altered in all the years. Well, nothing except its fortunes. Where it had once been abuzz with workers making iconic models and vases, now there was only Otto junior (son of the founder Otto Gerharz) and a part time worker left.When the Rag & Bone Bros tried to share their discovery and bring Otto junior’s bisons to the attention of the world they found that some people were not pleased.
