Anthony Short Antiques

Anthony Short Antiques first opened an antiques gallery 23 years ago in Antwerp. I am following my father's footsteps, having been in the antiques trade for more than 50 years in Knokke-Zoute, Belgium. In 2008, I decided to move with my family to Petworth in the UK and left my successful shop in Antwerp to start up a whole new adventure in Petworth "voted best antiques town in UK".
