Why Buy Antiques from Hawkins in Barry?

We have been at the heart of the South Wales antiques trade for over 60 years — here is what sets us apart.

Three Generations of Expertise

Established in 1960, Hawkins Antiques is a third-generation family business. We have been buying and selling antique furniture in South Wales for over 60 years — building relationships, knowledge, and a reputation for honest dealing that spans generations of customers.

Specialists in Fine Furniture

We specialise in British and French antique furniture — Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, French Louis XV and XVI, Vernis Martin, satinwood, burr walnut, marble-top, and ormolu-mounted pieces. Not generalists, but genuine specialists with deep knowledge of the pieces we sell.

Transparent & Honest

Every piece we sell is honestly described — including condition, any restorations, and handle originality. We never describe a piece as antique unless it is over 100 years old. What you see is what you get, and we stand behind everything we sell.

White-Glove UK Delivery

We deliver throughout Wales and across the UK using our trusted two-man specialist delivery team — fully wrapped, insured, and placed in the room of your choice. Regular runs to Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bristol, London, and the Home Counties.

Visit Our Barry Showroom

Our warehouse and showroom at Palmers Vale Business Centre, Barry, is open by appointment. We typically hold 80–120 pieces in stock at any one time — far more than can be shown online. Call 01446 744271 to arrange a visit.

Sourcing Service

Looking for something specific? We source exceptional pieces weekly from private estates across the UK and Europe. Tell us what you are looking for and we will keep you in mind — many of our best sales are made before pieces are ever listed online.
