I am a university professor, researcher and long-term collector of antiques, historical objects and decorative art. My academic background has shaped a careful and methodical approach to observation, research and documentation. Before offering an object for sale, I examine it closely and, whenever possible, research its age, origin, maker and historical context using museum collections, specialist literature, historical catalogues and documented auction records. The items I offer may include antique porcelain and ceramics, historical and art glass, Asian and Japanese art, carved jade and stone, metalwork, engravings, Art Deco objects, marquetry and other unusual pieces with distinctive character. Every object is selected individually from private collections, antique dealers, and personal discoveries. Most items are unique finds and are available only once. I aim to describe condition, dimensions, materials, dating and known provenance as openly and accurately as possible. Signs of age and use are carefully documented, as they are often an authentic part of an object’s history. All sold items are packed with great care and attention to safe transport. For me, collecting is not simply about ownership. It is about recognising craftsmanship, preserving objects that have survived through generations and helping them continue their journey into a new home or collection. Objects with history. Objects with craftsmanship. Objects with soul.
