Welcome to History and News Latest NewsI am trying to document everything I can find on my Family History. I am now deeply immersed in trying to find matches in my DNA to help prove that my family tree is correct and to try and breakdown some brick walls in my family history. Have you had your DNA tested and if so have you transferred your results to the gedmatch and/or familytreedna web sites? If you should want to join me in the quest to find the story of my ancestors please contact me with details, of how you fit into my Family Tree, and I will give you access to do this. Anyone else can freely view most material on people who are no longer living and contribute to the more general stories. You can comment on anything on this web site without logging in.
Shabby Genteel at Brackley Antique Cellar
The success of Brackley Antiques Cellar continues and has led to new areas of the Cellar opening up and hence much more for you to see on your visits.
Some Thoughts on the Antiques and Collectables TradeVisitors to us aren't always looking for expensive antiques. They are mainly looking for yesteryear collectables and older solid furniture to replace laminated chipboard. Dealers respond to customers demands; Victorian and Edwardian pine chests and furniture are bought, restored and sold. If an item is sold we start looking for similar items and a trend is set. Changes in the Antiques Trade
Forty years ago antiques were regarded as items over 100 years old. Most people looked in Antique shop windows, but few entered unless they had a small fortune to spend on a special piece. You certainly wouldn't have entered the shops in jeans with a couple of kids in tow. Interest therefore tended to be restricted to the elite and rich.
In the intervening years the trade has changed but where is it going now?
