About Me

I absolutely love antiques! And no, I don’t think there is anything old-fashioned about that. But if you want to call me a fuddy-duddy, then I accept that.

I like my house proper and grand. Antiques do just that.

Who should come and check out my site?

  • Antique lovers
  • People who like a bargain
  • History buffs

This blog is where I share what I learn along the way. You will find tips on buying at antique auctions, notes on furniture styles such as Queen Anne chairs and dresser tables, and a few thoughts on looking after older pieces, from clocks to cabinets.

I am not here to tell you that every old thing is valuable. Some pieces are worth a lot, others are simply lovely to live with, and both are fine by me. What matters is knowing what you are looking at, asking the right questions and buying what you actually like.

If you are just starting out, have a look through the blog and pick a topic that interests you. Every collector starts somewhere, and the hunt is half the fun.
