From 1st March 2023 a large range of our pieces will be on permanent display at this recently refurbished, top notch Antique Centre in the heart of Devon. Very conveniently located close to Junction 24 (Cullompton) of the M5, this quirky, buzzy new centre has a great range of vintage and antique stock, ample adjacent parking – plus a fantastic café! It’s definitely worth a visit if you are in the area – or even if you’re not!

We have really enjoyed standing at various fairs since 2010 – images from two we attended in 2022 are given here. It’s so great to meet our customers face to face, spend time with people who share our passion & increasingly also say hi to our return customers. In short, we will never be an exclusively online business!

In May 2022 we were entrusted with conserving and reframing an 18th century map sampler which had been in the owners’ family for generations.

We’re often asked by our customers at fairs to value all sorts of pieces. If you are considering selling an item, here are some of the sorts of things which – collectively and generally speaking - we have personally found may have a bearing on the amount we will pay or the sale price we achieve for an antique sampler. These sorts of factors will apply to many other different types of antique or vintage pieces, be it a small piece of treen dating from Tudor times or an enamel sign from the 1950s!
