- Our Story
A family business, built on trust
Regent Street Antiques was co-founded by Laurie Poore and his son, Dane Poore, who together bring over 52 years of combined experience in the antiques trade. Built on word-of-mouth referrals, private sales, and long-standing relationships, the firm has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted antique buyers.
As a family-run business, we remain committed to traditional values: honesty, expertise, and discretion. Over the years, we have proudly hosted thousands of antique valuation events, reinforcing our reputation for reliability and integrity.
In a world driven by fast fashion and short cycles, we champion the lasting value of the past — from Art Deco jewellery and rare Swiss timepieces to Chinese jade carvings and Georgian silver. Every item we handle has a history, and we take that seriously.
This business was created to offer clients an alternative to auction — one built on trust, privacy, and professionalism. My father and I have always prioritised relationships, not transactions. Whether you’re selling a single heirloom or an entire estate, we’re here to guide you with care.
