The allure of Antiques brought to you by Paula Martin-Calero Toro
Antiques are incredible! They encompass so many different styles and periods – there’s something new to discover every day.
With an artist for a father, Paula’s childhood home was defined by the sights of unfinished canvases and the sweet scents of turpentine. Following the family tradition, Paula’s eye was drawn to artistic beauty from an early age – subsequently pursuing a degree in Art History from the University of Barcelona. From there, she entered the world of antiques and art appraising and auctioning, primarily working freelance as an appraiser and cataloguer for a range of large Spanish institutions – including banks, tax agencies, and media conglomerates. This experience exposed her to incredible objects – whether it’s appraising artworks worth millions discovered in domestic bathrooms, or cataloguing a collection of over 15,000 pieces belonging to a Spanish bank. On the side, Paula has written extensively on the topic of art investment. As a Catawiki Expert, Paula brings specialist knowledge and appraisal skills in Antiques, making her an invaluable asset to Catawiki’s community of passionate enthusiasts.
