My name is Philip Skinner and I am based in Hollacombe,Chulmleigh Devon EX18 7QE near Winkleigh, a small hamlet in a picturesque part of the Torridge area of Devon. I have started selling antiques after a lifelong hobby of collecting them. My true love is silver especially old English sterling silver which I have started to increase my stock in.
Antiques are a great way of protecting the environment. They are very green and fully harness the reuse, repair concept. Most antiques when cleaned, and looked after, will continue to give lots of pleasure and service to anyone for another lifetime as well as sometimes being a financial investment.
We have included on the following pages a selection of the antiques and collectables we have to sell. If you are interested in purchasing any of them and are in the UK then please feel free to visit the shop and after clicking the item you are interested in adding it to your basket and proceeding with checkout (postage in the UK is free). If you are outside of the UK please email me on philipskinner874@btinternet.com ring or text on 07788825261 or ring 01837 848990 where we can discuss payment options and method of delivery. Please use the individual product reference codes for ease of use. We have also included some details of fairs that we will be attending in the events page.
As this site is being constantly updated, there may be times when we no longer have the item you would like. If this is the case, then let us know and we will try to look out for something similar for you. We can also look out for a specific item that you may require through my buying contacts if you let me know. If there is an item you are interested in and you would like to see it and are local, we can arrange to meet somewhere nearby for you to view with no obligation to buy.
We have tried to describe the items accurately including any inperfections. However, owing to the nature of antiques and the age of some of the pieces you will need to expect some wear and tear.
We have tried to make the website as user friendly as possible and hope you enjoy using it. We are always open to accept constructive feedback which can be done using the above email link.
If after purchasing one of our items you are unhappy with it, please contact us and we will do our best to try and resolve any problems or queries.
