Treasures in the AtticTreasures in the Attic takes place in September each year. It's a wonderful opportunity to find out the value of your antiques or special family artifacts/treasures. This short slideshow will give you a taste of what happens at this special fundraiser... Here is a sampling of our appraisers who donate their expertise and time for this unique and fun event... Kevin Colgan Specialty: General Antiques: Continental, English, Irish, 18th and 19th Century Objects, Carpets, Arts and Paintings.

Kevin Colgan is a general appraiser with a particular interest in paintings and pictures. He buys and sells for a shop with locations in England and Montreal. Jennifer Millen Specialty: Fabrics, Textiles and Costumes Jennifer Millen received her degree in Art History from Concordia University and has worked at the McCord Museum and St.Lambert's Marsil Museum.
