About Antiques & Vintage

The CT area has a well-established antiques and vintage trade, particularly in towns like Tenterden, Faversham, and the Margate Old Town. The best independent dealers have genuine expertise — they know what they've got and why it's priced the way it is. Buying secondhand from a dealer who curates their stock is a different proposition from charity shop browsing, and often better value than auction houses for pieces that need a home rather than a hammer.
