I love this place. When I was first going to visit, I had assumed that because it was antiques, it would be a shop full of dusty bric-a-brac that I would spend 5 minutes in browsing and then leave. As it turns out, I spent a few hours there, and I wanted to go back as soon as I could. Not only does their treenware collection contain some of the most beautiful objects I have had the pleasure to see, but the smell of the place and the attention to detail really, really surprised me. I didn't know I loved "naive" and "folk art", and maybe I wouldn't if I hadn't visited such a lovely place to start learning. I now own a few pieces of my own from RYA and look forward to receiving their catalogue (3 times a year!)
I love this shop; a great and unique collection for Chelsea and London. Robert displays his collection with such care and attention that it's a joy to visit. Really looking forward to seeing what new pieces he brings to Masterpiece.
Amazing antique store! A place where you can find 100+ years old items from the English households. Frankly an unique shop maintained by unique people!
A very good shopkeeper, passionate and very professional when it comes to talking about his furniture. Very nice shop. And little more he speaks French, which helped me a lot
Bought a lovely rocking horse from here in 1984, when it filled the entire window in the shop... Dad spotted it, but wouldn't tell me where it was, so in those pre net days, I had to try my luck with ''Bush telegraph''. A lady in Notting Hill told me about ''A big horse in Battersea Bridge Rd''...Bingo! Robert kindly let me pay in instalments. Glad to see his shop having gone from strength to strength. We called the horse ''Battersea'' and he still lives with us!
A charming antiques store tucked away in Battersea - a real gem! The owners are helpful and approachable. Robert is a true maven in the antique world so it s a real pleasure to see such care and expertise in his selection! I plan to return soon!
