Wessex House Antiques has been trading for over 30 years and has developed an enviable reputation for selling high quality genuine antiques at honest prices to buyers across the UK and internationally.
In 2005 I was invited to write the Shire Guide to Staffordshire Figures, recently reprinted, a signed copy of which will be included with the purchase of any Staffordshire or Prattware figure. Also available by special request from the author at £5.99, including postage.
