Prometheus AntiquesABOUT ME

To own something from the past that reflects it’s time and brings it’s qualities to enhance the present

Antiques and art have always been part of my life.

From Sunday outings with the family to the great houses of this country my interest grew into a Saturday job in an antique shop aged 16, to managing an antique shop, to having my own business, with a brief hiatus for a classical archaeology degree.

It scares me to think that I’m coming up for thirty years’ experience in this business, but I still count myself as young! Well youngish.

FURNITURE

Period Interiors, quality furniture with originality, colour and style.

ART

Beautiful watercolours, oils and stunning original pieces of all periods.

THE CABINET

The cabinet contains all the interesting bits and pieces.

Prometheus Antiques is Richard Byron-White.

I aim to provide fine, original, quality items for all and from almost every period and style. Here you will see listed our complete range of objects to peruse and cogitate at your leisure.

All items are fully described with photographs and measurements, but if there is anything you would like to ask, please contact me, I am here to make the online purchasing of art and antiques a joyful experience and I truly love talking about my items. I always say that I only sell things that I would be more than happy to have in my own home!

Well that is more than enough about me and my ethos. Let the objects speak for themselves…
