Visit any Kentish town and you are likely to spot at least one cosy little shop selling antiques. If you take the time to pop inside, you’ll discover a world of nostalgia, mystery, and beauty. The antiques – anything from the well known such as Clarice Cliff ceramics and Tunbridge Ware boxes to the one-off ticking timepieces and gorgeous knick knacks – have a uniqueness to them that keeps the hunters coming back for more. It’s not necessarily about finding something that’s worth a fortune; it’s more about finding something that tells a story. For those who are willing to listen, those stories can make all the difference.  

These items from the past are more popular now than ever, and Kent is a treasure trove of antiques. Our listing below is just the tip of the antique-hunting iceberg.
