“G Trollope & Sons*, 15 Parliament Street”
*Trollope & Sons were one of the largest and best-known makers of furniture in London during the reign of Queen Victoria. Originally based in Parliament Street, London, the company was registered in 1843 as ‘George Trollope and Sons’ and their showroom opened in Halkin Street Belgravia. By 1870 they had opened at Grosvenor Street and High street Vauxhall. They exhibited at the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition and at the 1862 International Exhibition.
John Beazor Antiques is a family firm, established in 1875 and based in Cambridge since 1940. We are a traditional antiques shop, but very much in the 21st century. We deal in 18th and early 19th century furniture, barometers and clocks. We choose our stock for its originality and for the quality of its colour, patination and design.
We are members of the BADA. We do not exhibit at fairs preferring to deal from our Cambridge shop where we hold Open Weekends from time to time.
