We are a family owned antiques business based in North East England, on the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne. Although we specialise in antique furniture, our range of antique clocks, ceramics, glass and metal ware are also quite comprehensive. Our showroom houses all of the antiques you see on our website and we encourage customers to visit us in person if at all possible. Our philosophy is “Excellence through consistent quality”; using his experience of the antiques trade Graham aims to provide customers with all the help and advice they may need in choosing antiques for home or business. All of the antiques we stock are sourced and personally chosen by Graham, who travels the length and breadth of England and Scotland in search of high quality antiques.
