This long-established family firm of antiques dealers is run by Martin Beazor, great grandson of John Beazor. We are very much a traditional antique shop dealing in good 18th and early 19th century furniture, clocks and barometers. We also handle a range of decorative items including tea-caddies and boxes.
Our stock is selected for its originality and for the quality of its design, colour and patination. We provide a full description for all purchases. As members of the BADA (British Antique Dealers' Association) and CINOA (the Brussels-based international federation of antique and art dealers), customers can buy with confidence.

Services
John Beazor Antiques was founded in 1875 in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. At that time Yarmouth was a prosperous fishing port and one of the centres of the herring fishing industry. John Martin Beazor, who was born in 1899, joined his father in the business in the early 20th century.
During the Second World War Great Yarmouth was heavily bombed and John Beazor moved the business to the ancient University City of Cambridge and in 1940 set up shop in Regent Street.Building work during the war was quite a challenge so it was greatly to his credit that he converted 78 and 80 Regent Street into one property, adding to the faade a fine Georgian doorway from a bombed out merchant's house in Great Yarmouth.

We offer advice on the restoration of furniture, clocks and barometers. Works of the highest standard can be undertaken by experienced craftsmen and overseen in our own workshop. Using our network of contacts and our depth of experience we are well placed to source items to meet the requirements of designers and private clients.

Ventured into this store with a bust I purchased at a car boot sale, simply inquiring with specialists in Cambridge to try and find out what the piece was made of and whether or not stripping off paint marks with White Spirit and respraying it would damage it.
The lady who welcomed me was very lovely and accommodating and seemed very interested and keen to help me however she could.
As she was not a specialist herself she called over Mr Beazor who's attitude was quite different. He did look at the piece for me and told me his opinion on what it was made of but he refused to give any advice for
