Graham Smith Antiques

Thank you for visiting Graham Smith Antiques, we are a British antiques business based in North East England, on the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne. Our family owned business has been established for 16 years though Graham has been gathering his experience and knowledge in the antiques trade for over 40 years having been a director and partner within a large international antiques business prior to opening his own shop.

We have a large selection of antique bookcases made from mahogany, oak, walnut and rosewood which vary in size from a small Victorian book slide which you would use on your desk top to hold 10-15 books to the large Georgian library break front bookcases which hold hundreds of books.

The book slide or trough can have fixed ends or the type which folds down at each end when not being used, the slides some times expand to allow extra space for more books.Wall hanging bookshelves do not adjust so you have to make sure that the books you have will go between the shelves and the wall you are fixing to will be strong enough to take the weight.

Chairs of all sizes, periods and styles are always in stock from antique sets of 4, 6, 8 and sometimes 10 chairs and sets with arm or elbow chairs from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods. Georgian Library arm chairs and Victorian Ladies and Gents chairs however large or small. Settee's, stools and benches are also found in stock.

We always have a large range of Antique 18th century, 19th century and 20th century chests, from the early 18th century Georgian oak dower chest to the large George III mahogany chest on chest or Tall boy. Miniature chests made as apprentice pieces in rosewood and mahogany or Victorian Childs chests for children to play with their dolls with.

We always have antique desks of all styles in stock, bureaus, pedestal desks, davenport desks, writing tables, knee hole desks from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods. Mahogany, Walnut and Oak bureaus from the 18th and early 19th centuries with fall front flaps and fitted interiors make very adaptable desks that when the flap is closed hides all your work from view.
