What Our Customers Say

I stumbled across The House of Antiques store after following them on Instagram. Having the need to source unusual visual items for my job I noticed something that would work perfectly for our next set design.

Being based overseas I thought dealing with a UK based company would be a logistical nightmare. This was not my experience, They were quick to respond, answered all my questions and had the item delivered right on time (fantastic job guys).

Truly amazing bunch of guys, offering amazing objects, who obviously love what they do.
