STOP PRESS 4th January 2021

We wish ALL our clients and friends a very Happy New Year and our wishes to each and every one a safe and healthy passage through the year ahead.

Screwed again. Having purchased stock for our Chrismas opening until the 24th Bojo has thrown yet another spanner in the works. Our click and collect service will run until we are allowed to open the showrooms again. It's always worth sending an e-mail or giving us a call 07982 301833 or 01795 534093. We have around 500 items in the shop that are not on the web. Fortunately our delivery service is still active in the Tier 4 region and it's free within the region.

We've posted new photos of the reorganised rooms - we hope you enjoy them.

Great news from Tennessee - the Fostoria glass wash set arrived safely and Scott Hobbs kindly put a pic on Facebook.

NEW PAGE - A very exciting medal came to us this week. A 1928 Winter Olympics Participants Bronze Medal - one of only 640 struck for the games - at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 12,500 were distributed. Click on the Stock Page for full details.The rare Anglepoise standard lamp designed by George Carwardine for Herbert Terry is rewired and awaiting PAT testing so will be on the site very soon.

More curios, jewellery and For the Specialist Collector a set of three bronze sugar boilers from a French confiserie dated around 1850/1880. Rare thingls. Also some unusual miniature oil lamps on the same page. Our shipment of a Parian ware figure to the US has been unpacked in perfect condition and another friend across the pond has been made.

Our opening times are altered until further notice - we will open only on the first Sunday of each month - so we are now Tuesday to Saturday. This will allow us to keep the premises sterile and safe - and it does take a lot of work.

Precious Metals - Always pleased to give face to face valuations on any item of precious metal with full, testing, weighing and grading of metal & stones. If you think your items are of a high value - book an appointment. We buy for cash but we need ID from first time clients.
