Charles James Antiques

The finest period pieces and artwork to curious, wonderful items from around the world, all of which would compliment and be the highlight of any room.

Welcome to Charles James Antiques, your number one source for all things Antique! We’re dedicated to giving you the very best buying and selling experience without any of the huge fees that you would find in the auctions, we focus on antique furniture, decorative and curious items with everything inbetween.

Founded by myself, Charles James. When I first started out, my passion for antiques and vintage items was inspired by my parents and family friends, I spent most of my weekends and summer holidays going to auctions and fairs and not forgetting stalling up in the cold darkness in anticipation for the the opening rush of buyers.

In truth, at first it wasnt for me, but the more I went and the more I learnt about the antiques around me, mixed with the more time I spent around the characters of the business I began to love it! Even with my new found love for the antiques business I never saw it as a viable career, and I only ever saw it as a rather expensive hobby!

When 34 Holland Road a shop that has been associated with antiques for over 50 years came available, I took a huge leap leaving a good job to turn my much loved hobby into a career that I would be happy to wake up early for. I have filled the space with items I love ranging from the finest period pieces and artwork to curious and wonderful items from around the world, all of which would compliment and be the highlight of any room

What I have come to love most about the antiques business apart from the antiques themselves are the interactions and dealings I have with the people that come into my shop, visit my stall and contact me through the website.

I hope you love the items I have on here as much as I do. If not please tell me and I will do my best to find that speical item for you! If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Charles James
