About Norbury Antiques
Established in 2007, Norbury Antiques is an independent antique furniture dealer specialising in traditional
English furniture. The business is owned and run by me, James Stapleton.
My interest in traditional architecture, furniture and design began at an early age. I have always enjoyed
working with my hands, and in 2004 I began an apprenticeship in Handcrafted Furniture. My first
placement was with an antique furniture restorer in Derbyshire, where I developed a lasting appreciation
for antique furniture and the craftsmanship behind it.
During my apprenticeship, I began buying the occasional piece of antique furniture to restore and sell.
What started as a way of developing my skills gradually became a passion for sourcing, restoring and
dealing in antique furniture.
After completing my studies, I established my own workshop and began building a collection of traditional
English furniture with the aim of starting my own business. In 2007, Norbury Antiques was established.
Since then, I have continued to source traditional English antique furniture from auctions, dealers and
private sources throughout the country. I select pieces based on their quality, design, proportions and
character, with a particular appreciation for Georgian, Regency and Victorian furniture.
The collection includes antique mahogany, oak, walnut and rosewood furniture, from chests of drawers,
bureaus and writing tables to dining tables, sideboards, bookcases and occasional tables.
Over the years I have supplied furniture to some of the finest homes in Cheshire, while continuing to build
a constantly changing collection of carefully selected antique furniture for homes throughout the UK.
