Diary of an antique dealer

Buying trip in Cyprus


Nicosia the divided Capital City of Cyprus. Turkish on one side and Greek on the other. A green line in between run by the United Nations.


Lovely people, kind, friendly and welcoming.


Just finished packing a container. What we call in the trade as a 20 footer.


There are also 40ft containers, High cube (9ft 6ins high) and now 45ft super containers.


I have brought back about 200 items ranging from silver candle sticks to 500 year old Chinese works of art. Street signs to Chippendale furniture.


All now in my warehouse ready for sale.
