A research project investigating the history of the antiques trade in Britain in the 19th & 20th centuries
We are finding some fabulous published resources for the Antique Dealer project – much of which is very kindly being sent into the project by the trade itself!…here’s some fantastic early 20th century dealer catalogues from Phillips of Hitchin –
thank you Jerome Phillips!
The Antique Trade is certainly changing – the Thames Valley Antique Dealers’ Association (TVADA) is to disband by the end of this year – so the Antiques Trade Gazette reports, see:

More reason for the history of the antique trade to be captured and archived!
Welcome to the Antique Dealers AHRC project blog – we’ve set up the blog to allow anyone, anywhere, to follow and to contribute to the research project, so do sent us a note to antiquedealers@leeds.ac.uk for an invitation to post a blog entry!
