What we don't buy

The world of antiques and collectables changes rapidly and stuff that was desirable 10 years ago may not be now!

See the lists below for items we are not currently buying. The antique market is very fluid so, if possible, store these items until the market changes. If you can't then charity shops will usually accept these items.

  • China tea services
  • Modern 'retro' items
  • Cutlery
  • Annuals
  • Tools
  • Lladro / Nao
  • Cut crystal
  • Furniture
  • Collectors plates
