The new venture is being run by Bradley Lockey and Oliver Beare.

They are joined by Mr Beare's fiancée, Karina Posada, in running the business along with an in-house valuer in antique silver and jewellery, who has 30 years experience in the industry.
The owners said: "Lockey & Beare Antiques/Interiors will soon be open for you to explore a carefully curated collection of the past."
