WHAT WE DO

​

Unpolished antiques, well sourced, constantly changing stock

 

Our Modus operandi is simple enough - if we like it, we buy it. 

But we're not collectors - we're here to sell things. And often we sell our stock as quickly as we buy it.

 

We’re based in North Lancashire and we get out on the road a lot.

We like things with history, we like things with texture, and we like things dusty and unrestored.

 

We have an established base of trade clients who trust our taste - dealers and decorators  - and a growing number of private clients who know a good thing when they see it...

​

Showroom visits are by appointment only.  Available Monday to Saturday most weeks.

​

In 2012, after relocating homewards to Lancashire from London, Howard swapped freelance journalism for Antiques.  

Recently moving the business to a former Methodist Chapel with 5,000 square foot of floor space and 140+ years of history.
