The original watercolor is beautiful and the price for the quality was amazing. I'm looking forward to having it framed. It's lovely!

I loved finding the vintage brass horse bottle opener for my son-in-law who has relatives from the Windsor area. It came wrapped beautifully and was shipped out immediately.

The wallet arrived about a week ago. I had to wait to submit a review. I am very pleased with it. It is well made and very stylist. The color and texture are lovely. Thanks! Ben

Beautiful Vintage set. Totally love. It did match the and I was excited to get and use it. When I did sadly the handle brock off Tea pot.

Dianne responded on Jul 19, 2022

I hope you managed to find someone to weld it back on, it would be worth it. So sorry that happened but there was no hint of it when sent. I’m only 65 and feel like my handles are about to drop off, heaven knows how I’ll feel 100+. I do hope you enjoy! ♥️

At just 16, I was mesmerised by this WWI sweetheart. My antiques passion was born, 40 years on it still captivates me.
There's no limits to my hunt for the best antique finds!

A lifelong Passion

Welcome!
My name is Dianne and I’m an Antiqueoholic. It’s a passion which started in my teens. I always felt I knew what I was looking at, like I’d lived amongst it before, maybe there is such a thing as reincarnation or inherited memories. Whatever the reason, the passion has grown over the years. I am in awe at the attention to detail and quality craftsmanship of antiques. The small batch workmanship of so many finds. I scout for stock everywhere, auction rooms, boot sales, charity shops. I always only buy and stock items I would be pleased to own myself, and therein lies a problem. Letting go! I have disciplined myself to believe I am the caretaker of the items, their history and individual stories. My memory runs wild. I hope I can pass on a little of that enthusiasm to future caretakers of these beautiful objects.

Sit down, grab a cup of tea and enjoy the browse. It’s good to see you!

Shop policies

My aim is to bring you items I would be happy to have in my own home, either for their aesthetic beauty or practicality. All items are inspected for quality and fault and are found to be useable.

If for any reason you are not happy with your purchase, please contact me, we will always find a happy solution.

Shipping

All items will be sent by First Class Mail within the UK and 1st Class Air to other countries. Items will be shipped within 3 working days of purchase. Please allow extended shipping times for overseas deliveries. All items will have proof of sending.

Overseas orders may on occasion take up to 6 weeks to arrive, particularly in the USA due to recent increased security measures. I only use a tracking service for orders over $55, please feel free to ask me for it if you need it, but please be aware that this will incur additional postage costs. Some countries are not required to scan the barcodes so 50% of the time they will only show that they have arrived in the country and no more so please bear this in mind.
