- I’m filming a series of videos in and around Hemswell Antiques Centre in Lincolnshire. In this film, you’ll meet Rober Miller the owner of Hemswell…the largest antiques centre in Europe!
A fascinating chap who’s doing some incredible things and changing the way the antiques business is traditionally run!
Do you have fabulous antiques to talk about, or for me to to sell for you? I’m always looking for interesting items and people to feature and make films about here on my channel

I feel so happy and content when i see someone is reviving Antiques business ...... I eat drink sleep antiques....its in my blood.
I’m very impressed with what Robert is doing…his positivity is good for the whole trade
Johnny Depp flew in to visit Hemswell Antiques Centre this week…in his helicopter!
I just read that in the news! On trend as usual David haha!
Robert is all over it - the work he's put into taking his centre to the next level is impressive. Thanks for the interview, David.
He really is Paul…doing an impressive job indeed
Dear David and Robert and all the employees, Thank you for giving us the grand tour! Much luv to all!
Brilliant, outstanding, breathtaking! Kicking myself for not moving into the Guards room last December. Fingers crossed later in the year. Great video.
hope you do…what a fabulous place to trade from
Fantastic video of a fantastic operation. Huge admiration for Robert. What he's created is an absolute joy and a thriving business to aspire to.
Thanks for watching Julie. yes, hats off to him
This is really impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
This is fabulous. Thank you for making this video. Antiques mixed with technology seems like a win win on every level!
Absolutely!
For anyone asking, that room is the place to go for wedding jewelry! No need to worry about conflict diamonds/gemstones, and the prices for good jools are lower than modern retail for comperable items. By rather a lot. The photography centre is making me jealous - dang I wish. A friend just scored a mother lode of Indian silver in a USA storage locker auction. Ought to tell him to truck it over to Hemswell?
Hello David, I discovered you on Peter Combs's wonderful channel, and now I'm hooked on your shows as well! Are there many dealers that deal mostly in Asian Art in these antique centers? So far, as we pass through the various stores, I haven't seen many, if any...Thanks so much David! You're doing such a great job! All the best from Marin County, California!
Thank you Charlotte, yes there are dealers in Asian Art at Hemswell and other places…hopefully they’ll appear soon!
@@DavidHarperAntiques Great, thank you David...I'll be on the lookout...
Imagine the photo machine for ebay photos it would be epic . The photo machine was the best bit of the video really enjoyed the insight to how they operate.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing David
Thats absolutely Amazing
My pleasure!
About 3 months ago on your Huge Antique Center / Back to the 70’s , I thought I saw the same vase when you were down stairs walking about in the beginning of the video.
I really enjoyed that,very interesting and informative 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Smart man , I like his thinking 🤔 👍
I’ve been there
Really nice to see the organisation and processes. In the back of my mind……. I wonder if they will let me come and film glass?
Any connection between Robert & family, and the Miller Antiques annual reference book ?
Will ask next time!
Where is the antique mall?
Info in video and video description
Between dealer fees and £12 web listing, doubt Hemswell is a place for good deals.
Everybody seems very happy there…dealers and buyers !
The industry had been stone-dead for years and it isn't coming back. Mahogany furniture, longcase clocks, china and more, all of it is completely out of favour. He must have another business propping up this vanity project.
There is obviously an elite with deep pockets who like personal service, & who don't want to mess about with auctions or traipsing around the country to get the piece(s) they desire. For them Hemswell looks very much like a "one stop shop", & even if it doesn't have everything, it's a good starting point for many.
@@mikeharrington5593 Indeed, yes and 'new money' types wishing to look otherwise can fill their homes with 'heirlooms' from here. IKEA won the war. unfortunately.
There is just SO much inherent value in the type of furniture you mention, that there must be little doubt it'll all make a roaring comeback when people come to their senses and stop buying the expensive, soulless kind from Ikea and elsewhere...I mean, just look at the gorgeous wood and the intricate carvings on most of those old pieces, and you just know that they're only temporarily asleep...I've been buying some in the meantime, at greatly reduced prices!
@@charlotteritchie3338 Good luck in trying to live for another hundred years.
He’s doing something right! 400 dealers, all paying rent, 400 dealers all selling stock!
