By appointment only, United Kingdom
Between the two of us we have over 60 years experience in both collecting
and dealing in English Needlework and pottery. Ema, with her love for all
things relating to children is a renowned expert in Samplers. Miniature and
Schoolwork are her particular passion. John's Interest for pottery in
general has resulted in a comprehensive range from medieval to studio
pottery including Delft, Slipware, Creamware and Staffordshire Figures.
Together we have developed this interest and broadened our stock base to
include early toys and dolls, folk art, treen, metalwork and all things
country.
We have both served on vetting committees at the NEC Antiques for Everyone
Fairs, Earls Court and other English fairs. We have also been involved in a
number of needlework tours including Dawn Lewis and at the Ackworth School.
We include our worldwide client base of trade, private collectors, museum customers and interior decorators among our friends for whom we are still actively working to acquire individual items or collections.
Due to family commitments and increased expenses we have now left
Portobello Road after 25 years to concentrate on the Fairs, including the
NEC Antiques For Everyone and this new Web Page that we will endeavour to
keep updated.
Please feel free to contact us over anything, either disposal of items
of interest or particular wants. We are always trying to source samplers
from particular schools and family names.
