View Time Was Antiques Inventory
Time Was Antiques is now a virtual shop specializing in English antiques, uniques, collectibles & items for your tea table with a British Accent. We semi retired in July 2004 and closed our actual antique shop to concentrate on our growing online web business.
We travel to England yearly to scour the markets and stalls there for English treasures and victoriana. We have a huge selection (over 5,000 items) in our inventory, always changing and always being added to, and we are adding them to cyber inventory as soon as we can!
We are a husband and wife team. John is a Brit with 38 years of experience as a diamond setter (beginning with the usual 6 year English apprentice system begun at age 15) and Ruth has been in the antique business for years starting as a teenager with her English grandmother's gift to her to her teapot and cup & saucer sets.
