Our history

Robin Pridham has had a very successful business and military career and won several corporate awards for his excellent strategic business acumen and sales results. He has been active in the fine art and antiques industry for the last thirty years. He regularly showed and sold fine and decorative arts at some of the most important antique shows within the Montreal – Toronto corridor: Christie’s, Centrepoint, Cabin Fever (Kingston), Ottawa Antique & Vintage Market, the Westmount Antique & Vintage Show as well as the Old Montreal Antique Show (OMAS) at Marché Bonsecours.

For the last 35 years, Robin has been cultivating, liaising and sharing his passion with an important network of well-respected aficionados, buyers, sellers and experts as well as the general public. In 2011, he launched his boutique auction house, Pridham’s, which is now recognized and trusted by collectors from Canada and around the world.
