Antiques With Attitude: The Commercial Eye

Antiques With Attitude: The Commercial Eye

Jonny Vegas, a new dealer a wonderfully quirky commercial eye.

The best antiques dealers today understand that it’s not simply about selling old things. It’s about finding those unusual, eye-catching pieces that make a home, finish a scheme or become the talking point of a room.

A great interior isn’t created by buying everything from the same catalogue, in the same colours, with the same predictable results. Where’s the fun in that?

It’s the unexpected that makes a home interesting. An unusual piece of furniture, an intriguing object or something with a little history and personality can transform an otherwise ordinary room into something special.

That’s where a good dealer earns their keep. It takes an eye to recognise what will work, what will stand out and what a customer didn’t even know they were looking for until they saw it!

Jonny brings just that sort of quirky commercial instinct to the mix. He understands that antiques aren’t confined to traditional interiors or grand old houses. They can work brilliantly in contemporary homes, adding character, contrast and individuality.

At Top Banana, we love dealers who think differently. After all, the last thing anyone wants is a home that looks like everyone else’s.

Buy something with character. Make a statement. And let your home tell its own story.

That’s the beauty of antiques — and another reason why a visit to Top Banana might just uncover the piece you never knew you needed!
