I love this antique shop!
It is quite small, but crammed full of interesting bits and bobs, pretty furniture, silver, fine china and decorative glass. They also have some really nice jewellery at incredibly reasonable prices. I found my engagement ring here, after my fiancée and I had spent aaages traipsing around Hatton Gardens and other London antique shops... in London rings were either a little boring (well, similar designs again and again in each shop), or beautiful but completely out of our price range! The range of jewellery here isn't huge, but it is all good quality and really lovely, especially if you like things that sparkle from the 1920s-1930s.
I actually just popped in here with my mum the first time, saw my lovely ring, and then had to wait a week before I could drag poor Marc all the way to Oundle to take a peek at it. Re-sizing was included in the price so a few weeks later we returned again to pick up my pretty, sparkly ring.
Normally when you buy rings they lose half their value as soon as you walk out of the shop...but here we had the opposite experience. The insurance certificate they wrote out for us said that it would cost twice as much as we paid for it to replace the ring. This is probably correct as it cost about half the price of similar rings I saw in London. (Eep- I better not lose it!!) So Green man antiques offers amazing value as well as sparkles.
The lady in charge of the shop, Vicky was really helpful, friendly and has excellent taste in shoes (well...she complemented me on my shoes anyway...) read more
