Adams Antiques is more than just an antique shop
We offer an extensive range of other services:
Having trouble finding exactly what you want?
We have been in the antique business for over 35 years,
and have developed an extensive network of contacts with other shops, dealers, private collectors and other clients.
If we don't have the piece of furniture you are looking for in stock, we can often find it for you.
We have sourced pieces and had them delivered to clients all over the world. We frequently ship to the USA.
Uncertain about the value or authenticity of an antique?
Perhaps you would like reassurance as to the quality and age of a piece before purchase. Or perhaps you need
an insurance or probate valuation, or an
independent assessment as to the authenticity of your piece.
As a member of the British Antiques Dealers' Association, and with over thirteen years of experience vetting on
major antiques fairs, Sandy Summers, the proprietor of Adams Antiques is well qualified to report on the age, value
and quality of an antique.
As well as doing valuations, we can provide a service to vet items before you purchase. Sandy often attends auctions,
either with or on behalf of clients, to view and assess pieces before the sale.
If you live abroad we can assess an antique on your behalf, before you decide to buy, and help you
acquire it at a favourable price.
Keep your furniture looking its best:
We offer a full repair and restoration service
Our in-house cabinet maker can also make items (such as pieces for corners or awkward space, or panelling for rooms)
to your exact specifications. It won't be an antique though!
Selling a piece of antique furniture?
You can always send a picture and we can give you advice. Many people do not want
to sell their antiques at auction because of the uncertainty over what price might be achieved, and the costs involved.
We offer a sale on commission service
This is the best way we have found to help you get the best price for your
antiques. How does it work? We agree a valuation, collect the piece, do any restoration work that is required,
polish it professionally and then place it for sale in our showrooms, and on this website. When the item is sold we return to
you the agreed valuation (less restoration charges, if any).
