Very nice antique shop based right in the village of Boscastle and some of the friendliest antique dealers I have ever met. They really are something to brag about. I enjoyed my browse around their shop and even had a friendly chat with them. Seems they were well impressed that I was an american in their shop! Very nice people!

They came over on a Saturday (after I rang on Friday afternoon) at exactly the time they said they would. They valued and bought several pieces of furniture for cash and took them away. Very friendly and helpful too and Paul Chubb is very knowledgeable about old and antique furniture. I highly recommend this firm.

Pontcanna Flea Market is the real deal. You are guaranteed to find a really good selection of…read morequality Kitsch, both for the home and garden, as well as loads of classic and retro clothing, antiques, electrical goods, records, books, and furniture... essentially all the kind of stuff that you'd expect at a flea market, but with the added bonus of this one being a particularly good one. I don't know where the traders get their stock from, but some of them must have an incredible address book! A lot of them seemingly have endless access to the most incredibly desirable objects. Their lives must be heavenly! I considered becoming a trader myself a few years back, but decided that it would be an overtly dangerous career choice. I'd be great at scouting out my stock, and have fairly well tuned haggling skills. So far, so good! But, the problems would arise when it came to selling any of it on. I know I'd want to keep everything! Those confounded attachment issues! They also hold regular auctions at the King's Road site. I've not been to one, but I hear that they are as much fun as the flea markets, and just as well stocked with eminently buyable stuff.

I was enamoured with this antiques shop the moment I walked in. I'm sceptical of any shop selling…read more"antiques", as I'm a firm believer that most of these so-called treasures are just overpriced junk. But I think this one is different. Avalon offers a wide selection of interesting items, from Georgian furniture to unique jewellery. They also carry a range of porcelain and glass figures, as well as books, stamps, pictures and toys. I'm a bit of a history buff, so I really enjoyed browsing the extensive ranges of military medals, which would make a nice gift for my WWII-obsessed Dad. I'm quite picky with jewellery - I hardly wear any, ever. My fingers are like sausages, so it's difficult to find rings that are both big and beautiful. I was astonished when I slipped on an amazing Art Deco silver ring to find it actually fit my massive middle finger perfectly. Priced at a reasonable £35, this ring was coming home with me. I met one-half of the husband and wife team who run this shop, and he is absolutely lovely, chatty and helpful, suggesting I leave my bags at the front so it's easier to manoeuvre around the shop. Definitely coming back here as the antiques are remarkable and the prices are reasonable!

This shops is over three floor and every room is full of great stuff like glass and silver ware and pottery and furniture ect ect. I spend a lovely hour in there just going through the different rooms ... telling myself that I don't need this or that. In the end I had so many things I wanted to buy that I din't buy any. Now I'm regretting it.

The shop is sectioned, with each person renting a section to show there antiques off. Some things can be quite expensive, however there are soom good bargains to be had and its great fun looking through all the stuff.
