More than beautiful objects

For owner Emma Curtis, antiques are pieces of history. Every item is chosen not only for its beauty or value, but for the story it has to tell.

Whether researching a Victorian family Bible, tracing the origins of a carved sculpture or identifying the maker of an unusual artwork, Emma believes every antique has a story waiting to be uncovered.
