Alan Walker has been a leading internationally-known specialist in antique barometers and related instruments for over 20 years. He purchases and, if necessary, restores all of the instruments that form his stock, working from spacious premises near Newbury, Berkshire, some 60 miles west of London. His stock may be viewed at the antique fairs where he regularly exhibits or by appointment near Newbury. The barometer has been an integral part of the British domestic scene since the early part of the 18th century. Initially a valuable tool in the domestic and agricultural decision-making of the British aristocracy, antique stick and wheel barometers, especially the Georgian examples, have now become highly-prized complements to today's fine antique reception room furniture. Alan’s passion for these charming, elegant and practical pieces of scientific and domestic social history is immediately apparent. His extensive selection of primarily Georgian barometers offers a comprehensive and unrivalled range of 18th- and 19th-century stick and wheel barometers - in the main, London-made - together with scientific, marine and aneroid barometers and barographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Alastair Dickenson started buying and selling fine silver in Jermyn Street in 1996, having previously spent 11 years at Phillips Auctioneers as cataloguer and auctioneer and 12 years as Director and head of Asprey’s silver department. He served on the Court of the Company of Art Scholars, Dealers and Collectors and is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, where he is a member of the Antique Plate Committee that adjudicates on all questionable silver sent for examination. He has been chairman of the silver vetting committee at both Summer and Winter Olympia fairs and continues to vet at Masterpiece. His participation in the ever popular Antiques Roadshow now extends to over 20 years. Alastair Dickenson Ltd is run by Alastair and his long-suffering co-director Melanie Cuchet. They are “by appointment” only and concentrate on the fine and the rare. Particular areas of speciality are early silver from the 16th and 17th centuries, Paul De Lamerie and other great Huguenot makers, Paul Storr and small collectibles such as vinaigrettes, card cases, snuff boxes, wine labels and caddy spoons. In recent years they have substantially increased their involvement in Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts silver, particularly by such makers or designers as Ramsden, Knox and Ashbee.

Throughout the centuries, Treasures of the East have been discovered in London museums and art galleries, originally brought here by wealthy families moving to London, bringing their treasures, heirlooms and heritage with them. Alex J. Zadah, third generation collector and dealer in fine textiles, Persian carpets and antiquities, recognised a demand from the public for these exclusive, hard-to-find antique textiles, and began to source and supply these beautiful accoutrements to clients in London. Trading in Mayfair and Marylebone at first, he soon expanded into North West London as well, providing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his clients, including a veritable Who’s Who of International Royalty and Celebrities. Within these collections, there are beautiful examples of fine European tapestries and exquisite central Persian carpets from the Safevid period, similar to exhibits at the British Museum, which houses the same styles. The finest of silk weavings from Isfhan can also be found. A special, limited collection of these fabulous Eastern Treasures has been brought to you – directly from the Shiraz region, straight to our gallery in Marylebone. You have the opportunity to own a unique, lavish, hard-to-find piece of history.

We offer a wide selection of superb antique maps, sea charts and atlases covering all parts of the world. Our stock ranges from the early printed maps of 1477 to about 1900; from miniature maps to large scale / wall maps, atlas produced maps and separately published broadsheets. Massimo De Martini started trading as “Altea Maps” in 1992, exhibiting at the “Bonnington Antique Map Fair” which was held in London on a monthly basis as well as various other antique and book fairs. As his business grew he acquired a shop in Camden Passage, one of the longest established London antique markets. Two years later he moved to a more central gallery space on Regent Street and more recently to the present location at the new “Altea Gallery”, in the heart of London’s Mayfair, opposite the Sotheby’s building. Over the years he has earned a reputation for supplying high quality maps and atlases, at fair prices, to first-time buyers, experienced collectors and institutions all over the world. In 1995 he led the “internet revolution” being among the first dealers in the map trade to offer a fully illustrated online map catalogue. We have always been very proud of this achievement, and as the leading force on the internet we became a point of reference for dealers and were copied many times over throughout the world. Nowadays there are large numbers of internet sites offering antique maps as well as e-bay and online auctions. However, to our knowledge, only a handful of dealers can supply their customers with an exceptional item backed up by a full guarantee. We all too often hear of horror stories experienced by unwary buyers misled by erroneous descriptions, reproductions and bad quality items available from unscrupulous dealers on the internet. So we maintain our goal to provide the best possible quality and value for money to our clientele whilst helping them to build their prized map collection for many years to come. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association, the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, the International Map Collector's Society, the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association and the International Antiquarian Mapsellers Association We are joint organisers of the yearly “International London Map Fair”, which we host in June at the Royal Geographical Society. We are also exhibitors and active sponsors of the Miami International Map Fair, which is held every year in early February.
