How to Buy Antiques -Hand Selected from all over the world

Wallrocks reputation rests on the quality of our collection. We source only the best, hand selecting our antique furniture individually from around the globe – personally selecting pieces that will shine in both traditional and contemporary interiors. We’re often asked by clientele, how to buy antiques. Our answer is let us take the risk out of it and make it an easier process for you.

  • We do not sell inferior quality antique furniture, nor do we stock replicas – every piece is authentic and original and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity detailing the full description, circa and origin.

  • Wallrocks firmly believe that the enduring quality of well made antique furniture makes it a responsible, environmental choice, as well as an aesthetic one. Our motivation is to provide our discerning customers with unique and beautiful antique furniture that will last a lifetime.

  • Every fine antique was originally crafted by hand, sometimes over the course of months or even years. Each is a work of art in its own right.
Sourcing – How to buy antiques specifically

sourced for you?

If you are seeking an item of antique furniture from a particular period or region, talk to us and we will do our utmost to assist you. In the event that you request that we source a specific antique for you:

  • There is no obligation on your part to purchase, as Wallrocks only buy what we deem authentic, good quality and what we know we can sell;
  • You will have first option on that antique piece on its arrival into the country;
  • Wallrocks cannot guarantee the time-frame that it may take to source a particular item, as these are antiques and therefore not mass-produced and readily available.

Import & Custom Restore – How to Buy Antiques

We source our collection in original condition and it is to our customers absolute benefit that we do this. Why?

By buying our antique furniture in original condition, we have the significant advantage of being able to see what has, and has not been done to a piece over time. Has the quality been compromised? Has the integrity been compromised? We only buy antiques that are sound. Once a piece has been restored by another dealer, it becomes significantly more difficult to establish its integrity. Once it arrives here and sold, we then work closely with you to restore the piece to your specific requirements.

Wallrocks have very strict buying criteria…

  • The furniture must be antique, and if not it needs to be of an unusually high standard to justify being purchased;
  • Antiques must be of a very high quality;
  • Our antiques must have correct proportion;
  • Importantly, they must have integrity and aesthetic appeal.

While these criteria might seem obvious, it is difficult to find furniture that satisfy all these criteria at once.

 

Buying Antiques – Restoration & Interior Design

The process of bringing the collection back to life is incredibly exciting for our clients as it respectfully rescues long forgotten beauty, and allows clients to make their own personal mark on the antiques by determining how they are to be restored, to what level and with what finishes and fabrics.

Wallrocks offer an interior decorating service for our clients to help clients put together their rooms and furniture beautifully. We have a passion for incorporating fine quality antiques into both contemporary and traditional settings to create breathtaking interiors. We combine expertise with a fresh, modern design sensibility which makes us uniquely placed to help customers realise their personal creative vision.

Our focus is to assist buyers who are ready to move on from the world of mass-produced furniture to be daring enough to explore the world of antiques – the world of living art.

Whatever you’re picturing, our custom service can create it. As well as guaranteeing the quality of the finished piece, we’ll advise you if any request threatens the integrity of the item. We have a beautiful collection of fabrics, leathers, trims, colours and finishes to choose from. We make buying antiques easy for you so to discuss restoration of any specific please please contact us.
