Antiques to buy, Antiques to collect, Antiques to cherish

By

If you are looking to buy a small decorative antique, please do take a look at AntiquesAvenue.co.uk shop where you can find the following:
Jewellery: Victorian Jewellery through to the later 20th century – a wide range of affordable pieces all of which are quite wearable as well as being collectable. The Victorian loved their silver Jewellery and especially those with a Scottish / Celtic influence. These is also a selection of Black and mourning Jewellery so popular following the death of Prince Albert until the late 1800s. Grab yourself a bargain from the Contemporary Jewellery section, pieces from circa 1980 to now – all costing much less than a new piece would today. AntiquesAvenue loves older silver charms and has a wide selection of individual charms and charm bracelets for sale.

Tiles: I offer tiles ranging from Antique Georgian Delft Tiles through to 20th Century collectable tiles. There is quite a good selection of Victorian tiles both picture tiles and the ever popular flower tiles . Towards the end of the 1800s the fashion changed and many Art Nouveau tiles were produced until the 1910’s . 20th Century tiles include examples from Packard and Ord, Poole and Pilkingtons

Glass Paperweights: These are mainly from the British manufacturers with a special section for the Scottish Paperweights and a whole range of Caithness glass paperweights. Collectors of Murano and Chinese paperweights will also find plenty to buy.

Art Pottery and Studio Pottery: Decorative pottery ( earthenware and stoneware) vases, jugs, bowls, dishes and animal figurines date from 1880 to circa 1980. Examples are offered from Poole, theDevon and Torquay potteries, Denby and Langley and now I have a new area for contemporary studio pottery dating from circa 1980 up to date. Pieces in the Contemporary Studio pottery section are all from individual artist potters and are likely to be very sought after in the future.

Wedgwood: Wedgwood Jasper ware always fascinates me ( my grandmother had a self full I was never allowed to touch). I look out for different shapes, patterns and colours along with particularly collectable pieces of other Wedgwood patterns.

Enamel and Collectable boxes Tiny little boxes which make excellent gifts and keepsakes. One of these would make an excellent gift containing a piece of antique Jewellery from AntiquesAvenue or a small trinket of your own

Collectables The collectables section mainly has vanity and dress related pieces. Hat pins and hatpin stands, buckles and buttons – all genuine antique and vintage items

And More to Come!

  1. Howdy, I fell blessed that I found your post while searching for dating stoneware. I agree with you on the subject esAvenue Blog: Antiques, Collecting, vintage and jewels. I was just thinking about this matter last Tuesday.
