So, you're looking for a genuine antique, and you definitely DON'T want a reproduction.
Maybe there's a type of antique you collect, or maybe you want something to make your home look nicer, or you want a talking-point item to impress your friends?
What if you live somewhere period antiques are hard to find, or hard to get to?
No problem - whatever it is, I've got it, or I can get it.
But you don't know me, so who am I?
Let me introduce myself...
My name is Rick McMullen, and I'm a 54 year old ex-patriate Englishman living with my American wife, Katherine, in rural Virginia, USA.
I have been an antiques dealer for 20+ years, and have sold on eBay since 1999.
I'm a Powerseller and Top 10,000 Reviewer on eBay under my ID of theyorkshireman2003, and I have worked hard to build up a great reputation for selling ONLY quality genuine antiques. My eBay feedback speaks for itself - 2062 Positives, all from customers who, like you, didn't know me at one time.
I specialize in English antiques, including Arts Crafts Mission Liberty of London quartersawn oak and William Morris originals, Georgian period quartersawn oak corner cupboards, antique Victorian Gothic Revival mirrors, lamp and end tables, sofa and games tables, stationery boxes, writing slopes, Victorian door knockers and Gothic iron door hardware including strap hinges.
But isn't it risky buying online from a dealer you don't know? Occasionally, yes, it is, but not here! I offer the following ironclad safeguards:
if an item I sell is not an antique or is not as I describe it
items that can be shipped Fedex will go Next Business Day and larger items will ship on the first available truck, ALWAYS WITHIN 10 DAYS
If there's something you're unhappy about, just let me know and I'll put it right, right away, GUARANTEED
- 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

Not only will I ship it
ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY ADDRESS IN THE 48 STATES, I'll give you a coupon good for 20% off your next purchase! That coupon has no expiry date and NO UPPER LIMIT!
It's good for 20% off ANYTHING on my website!!!
My latest container has just arrived from the UK, and the period antiques offered here are from it. I have more extraordinary things that I'll be listing in the coming days and weeks, from the 16th century through the Georgian and Victorian periods to the Gothic Revival, Aesthetic Movement, Arts Crafts Mission including tiger oak pieces, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and later. I will be massively expanding the number of English antiques in my catalog, so please keep coming back.
Whatever type of English antique you are looking for, you will find it here. Mahogany to quartersawn oak, tables to tea caddies to mirrors to corner cupboards, from the 16th century to the 1930s, 'The Yorkshireman Antiques' always has the esoteric and unusual English items I'm renowned for.
Whether you need a desk or desks, armoires, antique wood-framed mirrors in quartersawn or tiger oak, antique photograph frames or period tea caddies, I have it.
If you like Liberty of London originals, we have those too, like this Egyptian Revival 'Thebes' stool
and tables, dressers, Victorian Gothic or Arts and Crafts Mission originals, it is all here.
The one thing I DON'T have is reproduction. All my pieces are original and genuine English antiques, as anyone who has bought from me knows very well.
I am English, though I am a US Lawful Permanent Resident. I go to England regularly and buy EVERY item myself. I do NOT buy pre-loaded containers. Every item I offer has been found by me, haggled-over and bought by me, carried, wrapped and packed in a container by me and then shipped to the US by me. I control the quality of what I buy and I know the source of EVERY item I sell.
My particular interests lie in Arts and Crafts Mission items and Art Nouveau, though I have everything imaginable, from c.1600 to the 1930s.
I am gradually adding more items as the days go by, but I struggle to find the time to do so, as I am busy building my own unusual house here in Virginia.
