Tim started dealing from the age of 10, scouring shops and markets with his parents. After completing his education at Eastbourne College, it was almost inevitable that he would go into the Antique business and eventually open a shop. 

​

Now in his second shop, Crown Antiques, Tim offers two large floors of Antique and later furniture in the Old Town of Eastbourne. There is also an extensive vintage garden section in the adjoining courtyard. He is celebrating his second anniversary in the shop and is looking to expand the business.

Tim's passion is in English antique furniture and effects, but branches out into arts and crafts, mid century and reproduction.
