According to the auction house, highlights of the collection include a rare George II provincial mug, a Victorian novelty Jester pepper pot and a George IV gilt sideboard dish.
Baggott was born in Birmingham and his interest in antiques began at an early age.
He worked at Christie’s auction house and was head of silver at Sotheby’s Billingshurst, before becoming a private consultant, known as an authority on silver.
He joined BBC daytime show Flog It! in the early 2000s, and valued various silver objects.
The programme showed members of the public having their antique items appraised by experts before being given the option to sell them at auction, but it was axed amidst BBC One daytime schedule changes in 2018.
Earlier this year, the head of BBC daytime and early peak commissioning, Rob Unsworth, described Baggott as one of the show’s “most memorable characters”.
He was an “expert in all manner of collectables but in particular with unrivalled knowledge and enthusiasm for antique spoons and silver”, Mr Unsworth added.
