I established Zantiques in 2019 having worked actively in my family's antiquarian book business since 2001. Prior to that, I assisted my family who were proprietors of an antiquarian bookshop in the seaside town of Hastings in East Sussex.

As the book market changed over the years (chiefly due to the Internet), so did the strategy of our family business and I became more involved in managing online auctions - first through one of the world's most famous auction houses (Sotheby's), and then after the closure of the Sotheby's online auction site, via other selling routes such as virtual catalogues which are still in production to this day.

I established a global reputation on both sites having successfully listed and sold hundreds of books, along with many other items, such as antique maps, photographs, etc.

I enjoy the challenge of finding rare and unusual items and I have assisted within our family business at bookfairs around the UK for the past 23 years. I decided to launch an exciting new website with many unique antique items on paper (by no means limited to books) which I hope will fill gaps in libraries and collections worldwide.

Zantiques has also been trading in London’s fashionable Chelsea district of London since September 2021 where we offer a stunning selection of finely bound books.

I aim to offer items of extreme rarity including early printings and works of art.

Paper antiques can help establish sources of history in our society. Zantiques aims to supply as many items as possible that have been lost or undiscovered for many years. This will help studies of history for future generations.
