Happy New Year

We have been having a very busy few weeks over Christmas, as the Emporium has welcomed new traders joining us from their previous location in Wells where they were trading as Guardhouse Antiques. They bring with them their valuable experience and dedication, as well as their beautiful stock. We now have a gorgeous selection of whole new lines in jewellery, vintage clothing, silverware, coins and collectables.

Items with a difference..

Tony has been on a few successful hunts and brought some great items back. We have a wide variety of tables large and small from Victorian farmhouse kitchen,  to more formal dining tables and chairs, and even a bespoke Elm refectory table.  Also to mention, a lovely round Indian ‘drum’ chest of drawers made of indigenous Sheesham wood  with  very beautiful grain patterns.  New items always appear under‘latest stock’ via our website


As lovely as all these items are of course, Tony never fails to bring back something quite out of the ordinary and in this case it falls into very boyish territory with an elaborate statue of 'Predator' ...Not  perhaps everyone’s cup of tea, however this Predator statue is a great handmade work of art,  put together entirely from motor bike parts and (we think) fantastic..

Shabby Chic: Pretty Plates

There are some gorgeous plates and other ceramics hidden in corners of the Emporium, I had to bring them out, wash off the dust and set them out on display.   I particulary like the milk glass plates with 'forget me not' and lattice edge. They have some age cracks, but I think it adds to the shabby chic charm.

Faerie Charms..

Faerie Sculptures by Karen Williams

 We are delighted to have four of Karen Williams whimsical and characterful sculptures here at the emporium for Autumn. They make lovely and intriguing additions to any space. Quirky and entirely original!  Karen's sculptures are created entirely by hand from all recycled materials and each piece is a truly original work of art. 

Amy Jones; Jewellery Creations

Amy Jones is a Jewellery maker who works from her home in Midsomer Norton near Bath. She creates a great variety of beaded chains, pendants, bracelets and earrings. Her favourite materials are natural such as silver and semi-precious crystal beads and her jewellery evokes the very essences and forces associated to these materials. Amy has always been a great lover of the natural world and her Jewellery items play homage to the coming and going of seasons through their colour and forms. We are delighted to have a small selection of her work at our Emporium, the latest of which allude beautifully to Autumn.
