SourceBook Dealer of the Week: John Bird Antiques

Trade sign for a removal company. English circa 1860.

With over 40 years experience in the antiques trade, John Bird is one of the most well-established antiques sources for dealers and decorators in the UK, USA and abroad. His wealth of knowledge and experience means he sources and sells a wide selection of classic and unusual items with an emphasis on good colour and form. John's other criteria for sourcing stock is identical to mine: each piece must be as comfortable in a period property as in a contemporary property.
