Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Herculaneum porcelain, produced at the Toxteth Park pottery in Liverpool between 1796 and 1840, is known for its refined soft-paste and creamware bodies, often decorated with hand-painted floral motifs or transfer prints.

Georgian porcelain cream jugs were typically crafted from soft-paste porcelain or creamware, coated with a lead glaze, and painted with overglaze enamel pigments.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic body shapes, distinct handle forms such as angular or kick-waisted loops, light translucency, and specific overglaze floral palette styles typical of Liverpool decorators.

Place the item on a dining sideboard, inside a glazed dresser, or on open kitchen shelving alongside contemporary ceramics to add historic contrast.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges, immersion, or dishwasher use to protect the overglaze enamel decoration.
