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, Wilkinsons of London, William Trotter of Edinburgh, 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.

Olympia Shines
Millington Adams stand at the 2009 Olympia International Art and Antiques Fair.
We have recently exhibited at the summer Olympia International Fine Art & Antiques Fair and whilst down on exhibiter numbers slightly over last year, the fair appears to be some 7% up on visitor numbers over 2008. With a very good first day and solid interest throughout the next 9 days, it turned out to be the best result that we have had to date at the West London venue.

Customers main criteria were quality and value, which we at Millington Adams apparently seemed to be offering in abundance. Most expressed interest was in good quality period English furniture, the type of course that is not meant to be fashionable....or is it?
