Greetings.
Welcome to Antiques Workshop, founded in 2014 by cousins Thomas and Richard. Together, we specialise in finding and rescuing functional, decorative interior pieces from the 19th and 20th Century to make sure they can be re-used and enjoyed for many more years to come.
Our keen eye, experience and close attention to the finer and more subtle details allow us to hand select and curate a diverse range of stock that we carefully source from all over Europe and the UK. As a brand, Antiques Workshop has quickly become associated with providing an eclectic mix of unique interior statement pieces with a heavy focus on lighting, furniture and industrial clock systems often carrying some highly regarded brands such as Gents of Leicester, Howard & Sons, Dugdills, Holophane, Osler and Faraday & Son to name but a few.
We invite you to browse our current stock and follow us on Instagram to see the latest updates first as well as what goes on behind the scenes

The guys behind the graft.
Tom & Rich - cousins, neighbours and co-founders.
The idea behind recycling, restoring and re-purposing the items of our past is nothing new; people have been doing it for centuries, making good from the little they have or simply giving something a new lease of life. The throw away era that we now all live in means cheap mass manufactured tat that doesn’t last longer than our phone batteries are high in abundance with tacky polymer products that aren’t designed for life now commonplace, adorning the shelves of our local high street retailers.
Simply put; we don’t make ‘em like we used to. Quality, well engineered everyday products that were so apparent in our past unfortunately haven’t joined us this century, and manufacturers that hold these design values in high regards have seemingly met their demise.
Driven and inspired by this observation – it has been both our passion and pleasure to rebirth these endearing and forgotten items of our past into modern life, ensuring that they continue to function as efficiently a century from now as they did a century ago. Our items are carefully sourced from throughout the United Kingdom and beyond and truly are a testament to Great British engineering.
All of our products are dissembled where applicable and thoroughly cleaned. Wherever possible, some items will be preserved to show off their natural age, heritage and character.
