To our website. Millington Adams endeavour to bring you the finest pieces of British period antique furniture. Inspired by people like Thomas Chippendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite, and made by cabinet makers such as Gillows of Lancaster, Mayhew & Ince, Old & Ody, John Coxed, together with a large selection of Georgian longcase and bracket clocks, objéts d'art, and paintings from the 19th and 20th century.

We acquire stock that is in as original condition as we can find, we perform restoration or conservation work where necessary, sympathetic with the age and style of the piece, ensuring that the original patina and look of the furniture, painting or clock is preserved as much as possible. We believe that an antique should show to a certain extent it's age, we do not "over restore" pieces which perhaps could lead to confusion with a modern reproduction.

We are elected members of the British Antique Dealers Association, the premier trade association for the UK's top dealers. Our stock is selected and offered with quality and originality in mind,  from the best artists, cabinet makers, clockmakers and sculptors of the time; always attractively priced.

Shown here in the adjacent gallery slide shows are some of our recent acquisitions, click any image to view that particular piece, browse our site at your leisure, using the links on the top to lead to a index gallery for each type of work that we have presently available. Our stock changes daily, if we do not have available a suitable piece currently, then we will be happy to inform you if we do find something at a later date.

Our new TV station is go! - descriptive videos of important pieces.
Towards the end of last year on our stand at the LAPADA Berkeley Square October Fair, some videos were taken by a production company. On these we talked about the company and some of the furniture we had on the stand.
These videos were generally well received, so we have decided to start making the occasional video on some of the more important stock items that we currently have available. We hope this service will give a more in-depth look at these pieces, each video being around 2½ minutes long. The index page of current videos can be accessed using the "TV" main menu button above or clicking here. We hope you enjoy them and we would be grateful for any comments you may have on this new service, please e-mail us via the "CONTACT" menu item at the top of this page.

Our first catalogue has been out for a couple of months now. we hope you like it. In the spring we will producing our next one with some exciting new artworks. The current edition, produced entirely in-house, has 60 pages of our current stock of fine period furniture, clocks and fine paintings. Our website millingtonadams.com will of course have our full inventory.

To save many trees and obviously the high printing costs "Autumn 2009" will only be available on the internet, yet in a traditional catalogue format where you can just leaf through the pages at will and if so desired link directly from the catalogue to our an website to check availability and pricing. We think that it is a great addition to our portfolio for customers who would rather browse traditionally instead of looking through a website.

2009 Catalogue

The BADA Fair. Held from the 17th to the 23rd March 2010 in the Duke of York Square, just off Sloan Square in London.We look forward forward to spring with a renewed vigour as the first and probably the finest fair of the year gets underway in London. The BADA Fair, held from the 17th to the 23rd March 2010 in the Duke of York Square, just off Sloan Square is the highlight of the BADA dealer's year. With the demise of Grosvenor House, many regard this spring event as the UK's premier Fine Art & Antique Fair.

We wait to see how the rebranded and American run London International Fine Art Fair at Olympia (LIFAF) in June 2010 develops, with the promise of Maastricht like presentation, quality and stature. We also wait to see whether Masterpiece and The Haughton's Fair get off the starting blocks.

In the meantime though, the BADA Fair carries the flag high, if you are not on our mailing list and would like to come along click, here, or on the link alongside for a complimentary ticket.
