John Buxton on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW

For more than 25 years, John Buxton appraised African, Oceanic, Native American, and Pre‑Columbian material on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. This page offers a curated record of that work.

All videos linked on this page stream directly from PBS or the official ANTIQUES ROADSHOW YouTube channel. Nothing is hosted here. Viewing the clips on PBS’s own platforms supports the program’s nonprofit funding model, contributes to the audience metrics that matter for public‑media visibility, and ensures that monetization benefits the rights holders.

ROADSHOW appraisers participate as independent volunteers, and ArtTrak operates entirely outside the program. This page is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by PBS, GBH, the BBC, or ANTIQUES ROADSHOW; it simply provides a consolidated record of John’s contributions to the series.

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW advises anyone seeking an appraiser to consult more than one professional, compare valuations before acting on them, and review an appraiser’s training and credentials. We agree with that guidance. Further context on these valuations appears at the bottom of the page.

About the Appraisals

ROADSHOW appraisers participate as independent volunteers. ArtTrak is John’s own practice and operates entirely outside the program. John’s appearance on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW is not an endorsement of ArtTrak by PBS, GBH, the BBC, or the series itself, and nothing on this page should be read as one.

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW publishes guidance for anyone considering hiring an appraiser they’ve seen on the program, and we endorse it. Seek referrals from more than one person. Obtain valuations from multiple qualified professionals before acting on them, especially when the object is unusual or the amount significant. Review an appraiser’s professional affiliations and the standards those organizations require. Television exposure simply means someone was invited to appear; it does not guarantee they are the right expert for your object. A second opinion costs far less than a mistaken one.

The values shown in these segments reflect the appraisal given on the day each recording was made — some more than twenty years ago. An object’s value depends on its condition, the market for comparable material, and the venue in which it would sell. Today’s figure may be higher, lower, or unchanged. PBS makes the same point in its own guidance on reading the appraisal archive. A number of these segments were revisited years later for exactly that reason, and values moved in both directions.

An appraisal delivered on television is not a written appraisal report. Work for insurance, estate, donation, or tax purposes adheres to different standards. Nothing on this page should be interpreted as creating an expert-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

About the Videos

Each clip plays through a PBS‑supplied or YouTube‑supplied player. When a clip appears via YouTube, it is because the channel owner has embedding enabled; this is how YouTube permits off‑site display under its Terms of Service. Pressing play means you are using YouTube, and from that point the Google Privacy Policy applies, as do PBS’s privacy terms for PBS‑hosted content.

This page is intentionally excluded from search results. The videos belong to PBS and GBH, and searches for these appraisals should lead to their pages, not ours. This page is intended for individuals we have contacted directly, as a way to view the range of John’s work in one place. We would rather send traffic to PBS than compete with them for it.

This site is independent of the channels and producers whose video appears here. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, PBS, GBH, the BBC, YouTube, or any person or organization appearing in a video. No link on this page is paid or affiliate‑based, and we receive nothing if you follow one.
