Your Own Shop — Without Having to Work the Shop
Your Own Shop — Without Having to Work the Shop
For many dealers, the dream is simple:
your own shop, your own stock, your own identity — without being tied to the daily grind of running it.
That’s exactly where Top Banana Antiques comes in.
We provide the shop.
We do the selling.
We handle the administration, presentation, enquiries and day-to-day spade work.
You stay free to do what actually matters: buy, curate, refine your eye — and live.
Antiques dealing is not meant to be a life sentence behind a counter. The real value is created out in the world: sourcing, judging, negotiating, improving stock and making decisions. Standing around waiting for the door to open is not the best use of a dealer’s skill or time.
At www.topbananaantiques.com, each dealer effectively has their own shop within a larger marketplace. Your stock keeps its identity, your taste is visible, and your way of dealing remains intact — but the machinery runs quietly in the background.
We photograph.
We list.
We market.
We field enquiries and manage sales.
You don’t have to open up, close down, sit in, or chase browsers. The shop works while you work — or while you’re not working at all.
This model suits dealers who understand that time is capital. It allows you to scale without overextending, to sell consistently without distraction, and to focus on quality rather than footfall.
In short:
it’s your shop, without the shopkeeping.
You bring the judgement, experience and stock.
We do the rest.
That’s modern antiques dealing done properly.
