I have been in the antiques business since 1962, starting in the family business in Staffordshire.
In the early 1970’s I moved to Hertfordshire where I opened my own business and created a limited company.
Today most of my business is carried out via the internet. Any successful antiques business, and particularly mine, remains a way of life and a hobby, it continues to give me enormous enjoyment and satisfaction.
I hope this is reflected by my commitment to a very high quality of service which I have always given over the years. I prefer to deliver sold items in person where possible to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Victorian Walnut Jewellery Box with Original Fittings
I have reluctantly decided that after 60 years spent in this marvellous business it is, figuratively speaking, time to hang up my cheque book. I have therefore made considerable reductions to the prices of my stock. If any item is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact me. Still able to deliver to most areas, so if I can be of any help please do not hesitate to get in touch.
High quality Victorian burr walnut jewellery box with all its original fittings. The lid which has a working key, opens to reveal the blue lined interior with ten glass containers all surmounted by their original engraved silver plated lids. The front tray lifts out to reveal a further storage compartment. A brass knob to the side lifts to release a fitted lined drawer. The interior of the lid has its original gathered velvet lining. The exterior of the box has all its original patinated polished surface. The inside of the box is all original and while the original lining of the box is showing a little wear commensurate with its age it is generally in excellent condition. One of the rectangular glass bottles has been cracked and repaired.
