Meet the face behind the antiques… I’m not normally one for pictures of myself on Instagram but thought I’d make use of the pinned post to introduce myself to those who don’t know me. I’m Adam, Antiques have been my way of life in one way or another since I attended college at 16 to learn furniture restoration and cabinet making. After a full-time career as a restorer and conservator, in 2016 and with the knowledge I gained as a restorer/conservator, I decided to become a self employed antiques dealer and also continue to restore and conserve pieces for private and trade clients. My workshop and showrooms are in Battersea, central London and I sell internationally to trade, public and interior design clients. Do get in touch with me if you have any questions about pieces on here or the website. Best wishes, Adam. 📸 @portraitsbymint
