James Lewis of Derbyshire-based auction house Bamfords played a vital role in changing the UK's ivory laws in recent years, helping to protect elephants and other species. He is a long-standing patron of the conservation charity Born Free (https://www.bornfree.org.uk). In this video James uses his decades of experience to comprehensively, but simply explain the laws around ivory in antiques in the UK, including new rules that came into force in January 2025.
