This small antique shop has a high turnover of goods. Whenever my girlfriend wants to buy a new piece of furniture for the house, we always visit the antique shops first, Crawford's is near by and we often stop here.
We have bought a few things from here, and on one occasion, my girlfriend was 50/50 on whether to buy a certain white, embellished dressing table. Great finds often occur in Antique shops, but are also snatched up very quickly. The owner, a charming old Indian man, offered to hold the dressing table for a few days if we left a £20 deposit. This allowed us to see other places, and was extremely kind of him because it definitely would have gone. We ended up buying the dressing table at a great price.
Sometimes there are great things in here, and other times, it is the same old stuff, but if you ask the owner to take you around and show you what is what, he would be more than happy to do so, and he will even show you pictures of him when he was in his 20's. He has done this to us every time we have been there, he's great. He also provides a restoration service. read more
