Philip Jonathan Clifford Mould (born March 1960) is an English art dealer, London gallery owner, art historian, writer and broadcaster.

He has made a number of major art discoveries, including works of Thomas Gainsborough, Anthony Van Dyck and Thomas Lawrence.

Mould is the author of two books on art discovery and is widely consulted by the media on the subject.

He co-presents the BBC television programme Fake or Fortune?, an arts programme, with journalist and broadcaster Fiona Bruce.

1981

Mould was born in Wirral, Cheshire and educated at Kingsmead School, Hoylake, Worth School and the University of East Anglia, from which he graduated with a BA in History of Art in 1981.

Mould's father owned a factory in Liverpool and his family was based in the Wirral Peninsula.

Mould made friends with the owner of a local antiques shop, who taught him to read hallmarks on silver when he was just 11 or 12 years old, and by the age of 14 he was dealing in antique silver.

Mould began art dealing in his early teens and has since established an art dealership specialising in British art, a subject on which he is internationally consulted.

He has sold works to public institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), National Portrait Gallery (London), Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Tate, The Huntington Library (California), and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum.

Mould has worked as a valuer for the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Government's Acceptance in Lieu scheme.

In recognition of his art world expertise and contribution to portrait heritage, he was created OBE in the 2005 New Year Honours list.

In 2009, false allegations against him of infidelity and financial insolvency were planted in newspapers by a rival art dealer, later disgraced.

2014

In January 2014, Mould warned of the increasing prevalence of what he termed "trapping" in which crooked sellers misleadingly hint that fake artworks have genuine provenance, without actually making false descriptions or asserting attributions.
