Pilgrim's Antiques, West Street, Dorking Valentine's Day

Soon it will be St. Valentine's Day.
We have a wonderful shop window display at the moment to reflect this.
I decided to follow suit with my latest look at our Antiques Centre.
If you feel you want to mark the day with a gift, then an antiques centre is a very good place to begin. You can find any number of romantic gifts to amuse, interest and entertain - for both males and females.
I hav photographs showing items being sold by each person who sells in Pilgrims Antiques.
Pink and red and girly things tend to dominate - but keep with it, there is more to Valentine's Day than that.

On the right there are items from Clive's cabinets.

But not everybody wants pink. This is a blue shelf in Clive's cabinet.

Hilary's jewellery and bag with glass ware from Gill.

Romantic 1930's dancers. (Hilary).
Imagine the tete a tete after the dance on the 1930s phone from Stephen's shelves.

Romantic breakfast.....and later champagne or claret.
The eggy things are from Jonathan and Jean. Items on the right are taken from Sue's shelves.

Mick sells lots of fine pottery, but I picked out the oil lamp with the pink shade with a very heavy pink vase and a Radford jug.
Jo sells, amongst other things, linen and lace and fabrics and hats and gloves.

Flowery bits and pieces from Terry's section near the back of the shop.
On the right I chose small items from Judy's cutlery cabinet and Julie's section.
The vase is Mick's.

Lovely items from Monika's section.
She specialises in hand crafted items - arts and crafts, art nouveau etc.

Now, I haven't forgotten the menfolk.
Your man might love to have this model aircraft to enhance his desk.
It is from Bill's section right at the front of the shop.

Some trench art from Terry on the right, with one of Stephen's microscopes.

I also have some things suitable for the man in your life.
Could the elephant bar jug be nuzzling up romantically to the oil jug?

A an old waste paper bin, which has been decoupaged - from Bill.
There are also some books in the shop.
We have old cookery books and household  books.
And I try to have some which are of a wider interest.

We are always happy to talk with people on the phone.
