I began my Career in the antiques trade at the age of sixteen, working as an apprentice in a high-end auction house. I then spent two years with an established antique dealer before being invited to join him as a partner.
More than fifty years later, I still have a genuine passion for buying and selling antiques. Over the decades, I've developed a deep appreciation for quality, craftmanship and the stories behind each piece.
I take great pride in offering a personal and reliable service. Wherever possible, I deliver items myself to ensure they arrive safely and in excellent condition. A large proportion of my business comes from returning customers, which I believe reflects the trust and satisfaction I strive to provide.
