Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.
You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.
All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

This highly decorative, large exhibition quality mid 19th Century (c.1860) English antique enamelled glass vase is a superb example.
The vase is made from pale grey glass with a pinkish tint and stands on a flared foot with a short stepped stem. The body is baluster shaped and balanced with a narrow neck which flares out to the rim.
The vase is exquisitely decorated with a naturalistic scene with a nicely detailed chiffchaff bird dropping down, most likely to a hidden nest into the undergrowth with bright flowers and foliage.
The decoration is extensive, unlike most examples, which tend to have a small front and perhaps a back panel. This is almost continually circulating all around the vase.
The enamelling is beautifully hand painted in bright translucent colours with thick solid highlights, which would have created a lot of work for the artist, as each colour of glass enamel has to be fired separately.
The vase is finished at the top and bottom with a gilt and black lined boarder centered with a string of white enamel beading.
The vase is in excellent original condition with no wear, damage or restoration.
