WELCOME
This site is a window to my world.
I am a dealer in Antique Costume and Textiles and all the paraphernalia that go with it!
I have been following this occupation for 25 years and many beautiful things have passed through
my hands during this time. I have met many interesting and delightful people some of whom have passed on their knowledge
of their particular field and for this I am grateful. It is a great thing to share your knowledge as it is impossible
to know everything about everything. I am still learning.
I do not have
retail premises but trade at major Costume and Textile Fairs up and down the UK
Some
of the items you will see on this site are for sale but others have gone to new custodians to bring them pleasure. Please
contact me if you are interested in anything you see or if you would like me to source things for you.
I can take payment online with PAYPAL.
Please have a look at my lovely things.

This 18th century sac dress is one of my favourite things. Sadly it has a lot of damage and
is not for sale. I use it occasionally on display at exhibitions and I take it with me if I am giving a talk on Costume.
