Testimonials

I discovered The House of Antiques during a random internet search, searching for a hard-to-find pair of Kashmiri candlesticks. Admittedly, I was somewhat hesitant to order an antique from an unfamiliar business, sight unseen.

I was pleasantly assured when Harryemailed me directly to confirm my order and offer gratitude for the purchase. During processing, I inadvertently paid twice for the item via PayPal. Harry and Max immediately notified me of the error and corrected it with a refund.

The candlesticks arrived at my home in the United States in less than 10 days from purchase, in wonderful condition and ready for transformation to table lamps.

I recommend The House of Antiques for their product quality, integrity of business practices, and superb overall customer service.

This dealer is amazing. We placed the order and within a little over a week it was shipped and delivered from London to North Carolina, USA. Packaging was very well done and of course the piece is amazing and as described.

This is the second purchase we have made from The House of Antiques and with their incredible selection, I’m sure we’ll be making more.

It was such a delight working with The House of Antiques. They are now my go to sources for a variety of unique items. They were attentive when a delivery to the US was held hostage in Customs.

Harry was there every step of the way even when on vacation. Everything arrived safe and sound.

It was a pleasure to work with the House of Antiques on a recent project at the London Dungeon.

I was after antiques and oddities of a macabre, arcane nature and Harry’s stand-out selection – from human bones in glass jars to contorted wax heads – was exactly what I had in mind but couldn’t seem to find anywhere else. Harry himself made the whole process extremely personal and is really invested in each item he has collected, ensuring not only it is right for the project being undertook, but that the products are shipped safely and delivered on time.

I would not hesitate to recommend the House of Antiques to anyone, thanks for a straight-forward (and v cool) experience!

The House of Antiques is my first choice for finding object d’ art or rare and unusual curiosities. They were able to provide items which I am using in the feature films King Lear and Memoria Draco. Prices were very reasonable, beating other companies and delivery was fast. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.

The House of Antiques will continue to be the first company that my film company, AJF, consults for objects that are rare and difficult to find.

We tried to look in a few stores before my colleague directed me to The House of Antiques in London.

The lighting that I needed for our new store had to be different and unique to showcase our window display. The item I purchased was a one off and looks amazing in our shop window.

A pleasure to deal with and very cool things if you’re looking for that unique item.

Quite simply – You can lose yourself in the online shopping world these days, as everything looks the same and has no real panache. My experience with The House of Antiques was very different, they are spot on with what they have in store, it’s always detailed and photographed well and more importantly their house style and astonishingly unique antiques are second to none.

Very professional and very special.

The House of Antiques – WOW! What an experience; dangerously addictive but what a joy.

All at once fascinating and haunting, coupled with an amazingly personal service rarely offered online. Thank you

When asked, the seller, Harry, provided another picture of this charming object next to something small (a pear) so I could better visualize the scale. He was gracious and warm throughout our brief correspondence.

While it was too late to get the train here by Christmas day, with an added challenge of a strike in England and foul weather here, I was stunned when he found a way to get it to me TWO DAYS before Christmas! It must have traveled on the Hogwart’s Express!

I have been a collector of oddities and antiques for many years. I have always been attracted to those antiques that tell a story, are macabre, or just speak to my soul.

When I found The House of Antiques, I was nervous because I am in the United States, and they are located in the UK. I couldn’t have been more wrong to be nervous! Every transaction was seamless! After countless conversations with Harry (who himself seems mystical, because he ALWAYS knows exactly what I would like, and reaches out to me whenever they get something in that he believes fits my tastes), I have not had ONE problem with ANY of the items received. My items have always been first-rate, fairly priced, packaged well, and shipped in a timely manner. They have an eye for the unique, and I look forward to when a new item is posted, as I know that it is something that I will not be able to find ANYWHERE else.

I now don’t just consider myself just a client of the House of Antiques, I feel that Harry who heads up the team there and I are indeed friends, and that makes the interactions even more pleasant

Sourcing new and outstanding props is quite a challenge these days, especially when you’re looking for something that is not only highly decorative but also fits into a director’s frame of mind.

The House of Antiques have some of the most outstanding and visually stimulating antiques and artifacts I have seen. After speaking to their team I was quickly reassured that they not only got what I was looking for but that they also understood the brief regarding our new production. They packed and shipped our items not only safely but on time for our first screen test. A highly professional and reliable team, highly recommended and very cool setup.

I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER! Without exaggeration, The House of Antiques has been the most responsive, helpful, and truly caring seller I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with online. Harry is deeply passionate about the items he sells and it shows when purchasing from him.

I ordered a very special, unique, and extremely fragile piece for my collection which arrived perfectly wrapped with the utmost care and love. His buyers satisfaction really means the most to him and the way he does business proves it. Plus, he has an eye for those rare one-of-a-kind items that you just can’t find anywhere else.

A wonderful experience with an incredible dealer. Just perfect all the way around. I’m a customer for life. THANK YOU Harry!

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.

If you are looking for the unusual, one off curios with a back story, or just an interesting conversation starter for your home or business then you need to know ‘The House of Antiques’.

I have bought several pieces from them. You know you are getting the real deal with them. I’m now an avid collector through them. If you’re looking for specific antiques they will source them for you, just give them an idea of what you are looking for; the colour, the location you would like to place ‘something,’ the ideal age, the item types you want (e.g. theme…medical, circus, art work, sculpture, whatever your antique theme is, etc) and they will find them for you. They will also inform you if they find something whilst out sourcing antiques that matches your personal antiques taste, giving you the option to snap it up first. I love that. I feel like I have a personal buyer for my antique collecting hobby. Items arrive beautifully packaged and in a timely fashion.

I am happy to recommend them to anyone who tells me they are interested in antiques, they are just the best. They are always my first point of contact for all my antique needs.

After searching antique dealer sites for several months with no success in an effort to find a special centre piece/ talking point antique for my new business reception area, following a tip from a friend I checked out “The House of Antiques” and after talking to Harry who I found to be not only very knowledgeable but extremely helpful, they sourced me the most incredible Scratch Built boat that I have ever seen and one that has proven to be a real talking point with all our guests who clearly love it just as much as I do, its truly amazing.

I would definitely recommend The House of Antiques to anyone who is searching for that special something because your bound to find it there. I did.
