Let’s Chat About Antiques
We're Here to Help
Welcome to UK Antiques. Whether you have a question about one of our antiques, need help with an order, would like to arrange a showroom visit, or simply want some friendly advice before making a purchase, please get in touch.
My name is Barrie Wallis, and with over 45 years of experience in the antiques trade, I believe in offering personal, straightforward service. When you contact UK Antiques, you are dealing directly with an experienced antiques dealer—not a call centre or anonymous customer service department.

Visit Our Antiques Showroom
You are welcome to visit our bricks-and-mortar showroom in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, one of Britain's best-known historic centres for antiques.
Our physical showroom may contain many more antiques than are currently displayed online, and our collection is constantly changing.
If you are travelling specifically to view a particular item, please contact us before your visit to confirm that it is still available and at the showroom.
Questions About an Antique
Every antique is unique, and buying online can naturally raise questions.
If you would like to know more about a particular piece, please ask. I can provide additional information about its age, condition, dimensions, materials, maker or history where known.
I want you to feel confident and fully informed before making a purchase.
Delivery
We carefully pack every antique to help ensure it arrives safely.
Delivery options vary depending on the size, weight, value and destination of the item. Smaller antiques may be sent by insured courier, while larger pieces of furniture or particularly fragile items may require a specialist delivery service.
Please contact us if you have any questions about delivery within the UK or internationally.
Returns
We want you to be delighted with your purchase.
If you buy an antique online and wish to return it, please contact us as soon as possible after receiving your order. Returns are handled in accordance with our terms and applicable UK consumer law.
Items should be returned safely, securely packaged and in the same condition in which they were received.
For full details, please see our Returns Policy.
Selling Antiques to Us
We are always interested in hearing about quality, unusual and interesting antiques.
If you have an individual item or collection that you think may be suitable for us, please send clear photographs together with any information you have about the piece.
Please note that we do not currently offer a formal valuation service.
