We are a long established family firm buying and selling fine quality antique and later furniture. Peter Martin founded the business some 40 years ago in the picturesque East Berkshire town of Eton – in the shadow of Windsor castle and home to the world famous Eton College – and was joined by son Paul just over 20 years ago. We continue to run the business together, while all restoration is carried out in sympathetic and traditional style by our skilled craftsmen.
As of February 2010, we are leaving our High Street premises in response to changing trading conditions and an opportune offer. We will continue to trade from our nearby Eton store, however, while we search for a new permanent base. All furniture will still be available to view: you will need to make an appointment, but we’re very flexible and will be glad to hear from you. We will also be happy to serve you from our retail area at Room 3 of The Swan Antiques Centre, Tetsworth (www.theswan.co.uk), and of course online via this website.
We continue to carry a large and diverse range of furniture for the home and office, in oak, walnut, mahogany and exotic timbers. Our stock dates mostly from the 18th to early 20th centuries, although we also offer a few later, high-quality pieces of traditional style. Also, from time to time we may have a limited range of paintings, prints, rugs and objects in stock, depending on what fortune sends our way. With two buyers constantly on the road searching for stock there are always fresh pieces available for your perusal. And if we haven't got exactly what you are looking for, our extensive range of contacts in the trade means there's a good chance we can find it for you.
Peter J. Martin & Son are long-standing members of LAPADA (The London & Provincial Antique Dealers Association) (www.lapada.org), the premier antiques trade representative body in the UK. We are also proud to be founder members of TVADA (The Thames Valley Antique Dealers Association) (www.tvada.co.uk), and are of course bound by the codes of good practice of both of these associations.
We are confident that our photographs and descriptions accurately represent the items being offered, although there is of course no substitute for viewing a piece of antique furniture prior to purchase. Condition reports and detail photographs are always available on request – simply drop us a line and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Peter & Paul Martin
