As a pioneering collector and dealer, Emma Hawkins first made her mark in London’s Notting Hill by opening an antique store at the age of 21. In this episode of A Life Less Ordinary, Emma brings her unique approach to collecting life-enhancing modern art, time-worn antiques, eye-opening curios, and natural history specimens. From carved tusks and mystic witches’ balls to Victorian taxidermy and glass eyes, she has always searched for pieces that spark wonder. Now, following a return to London, comes the auction at Sotheby’s. “I do feel it's time after 30 years to give a platform to these remarkable objects.”
