Prometheus antiques is a fine antiques and art business that has been the work, and life, of the past twenty years of myself Richard Byron White.
I have only ever wanted to buy and sell things that interest or appeal to me and that I would love to have in my own home. Every item I sell has had to pass all the scrutiny, checks and standards that I would want in an item for my own home. All items are put to multiple criteria: is it unusual? Is it original? Has it a life and a patina? Is the fundamental design appealing? And many others. It is therefore my profound hope that every item listed here will be something worth having! That will enrich your home.
Antiques and art have been my life, from childhood Sunday outings with the family to the great houses of the country, my interest grew into a Saturday job in an antique shop, to managing an antique shop, to having my own business, with a brief hiatus for a classical archaeology degree. It scares me to think that I now have over twenty years experience In this business, but I still count myself as young! Well youngish.
I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge in many areas of the business, including, art, pottery, furniture etc and many contacts including the ability to get more or less anything sympathetically conserved and restored
I have worked as interior decoration adviser for many costumers and am a recognised an expert on the history and styles of interior decoration, indeed I have worked on countless period theatrical productions as historical adviser. Theatre set design and costume is another interest and have worked on productions from various historical periods
Well that is more than enough about me and my ethos. Let the objects speak for themselves…
Thank you.
