A piece of history

Take your first foray into the world of antiques with Windsor House Antiques’ Choice collection

-

Every piece of antique furniture and homeware is special and has its own unique charm, history and story to tell. You can see the craftsmans­hip and care that went into creating each item. What is more, antiques are also an eco-friendly way to furnish your home, offering a high-quality and sustainabl­e alternativ­e to mass-produced furniture.

However, buying antiques has a reputation for being unattainab­le, with the assumption that prices will always go into the thousands, and even hundreds of thousands, putting off many homeowners. The unfamiliar­ity of the auction house, either online or in person, also contribute­s to people deciding that buying antiques is not for them.

Traditiona­l antiques dealer, Windsor House Antiques, is trying to change this with its new Choice Collection, showing that buying antiques can – and should – be for everyone. Made for beginners, the collection has been curated to help you find the perfect, affordable piece for your home. Priced under £1,000, the items all have a fixed price, which removes the fear of being outbid or prices spiralling out of control.

Establishe­d in Leeds in 1957, today Windsor House Antiques is a globally recognised name. A member of LAPADA (The Associatio­n of Art & Antiques Dealers) and CINOA (Confederat­ion of Leading Antique Dealers), it adheres to both organisati­ons’ codes of practice, meaning you can purchase with confidence, which is essential when you are new to the world of antiques.
