This site is owned and run by me Anne. An antique dealer for the past 25 years and qualified jeweller with a passion for all things old and interesting especially jewellery. You may still contact me through this blog for any queries regarding past purchases from AntiquesAvenue. I first became interested in antiques as a child – my Dad liked to attend auctions and look around antique shops when he had the time and he used to take with him as I was fascinated by all the strange and unusual objects you would see. As I grew up I could always be found looking for bargains and learning more about antiques and the trade. Eventually, I felt confident enough to dive in full time back sometime back in the last century.
