Sourcing

At Advertiques, we regularly source original antique advertising pieces for private collectors, interior decorators, commercial spaces and period properties across the UK.

Through an established network of dealers, fairs, private collections and trade contacts, we are able to source distinctive original items with character, history and visual impact. Many of the finest pieces never appear publicly online.

Whether you are looking for a large enamel sign for a kitchen or bar area, a rare tobacconist cabinet, a group of smaller decorative pieces for a hospitality project, or a specific brand or subject matter, we can help locate items that suit both the space and the overall aesthetic.

We particularly specialise in:

• Antique advertising signs
• Enamel signs
• Shop display pieces
• Countertop advertising cabinets
• Tins and packaging
• Decorative vintage commercial pieces

We work closely with interior decorators and private clients who are looking for pieces that feel authentic, unusual and visually striking rather than mass produced reproductions. Original advertising antiques bring warmth, texture and individuality to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Exceptional original pieces are rarely sourced instantly. We work patiently and selectively to find items with genuine character and authenticity.

We will always be honest about likely availability, budget expectations and timescales.

How It Works

  1. Share details of the space, style or item you are searching for
  2. We source suitable original pieces through our network
  3. Shortlisted items are presented for consideration
  4. We arrange purchase, collection and delivery where required

Some clients come to us with a very specific brief, while others simply want help building a cohesive look around a room, project or collection.
