“Now in the 21st Century the range and diversity of furniture available has escalated . The advent of internet retail, improved manufacturing process and foreign trade has changed the face of retail for ever. Antiques, once seen as the desire of the elderly English Squire has become accessible and appealing to a much wider audience. Interior Designers are increasingly seeing a demand for blending old and new with the added bonus of antique purchases not just holding their value but increasing their value into the future. It is not just who is buying Antiques that has changed, but the product ranges themselves have shown greater variety from decorative items to garden statutory. The numerous Antiques programs now viewable through the media and the ever growing desire to make a statement and attract attention with the individuality that is available in the Antiques market has made this the new furniture of choice.
Antiques is my passion and it is my quest to bring Antiques back to life and into homes across the country.”
