OUR STORY

Jacksons Antique was founded in the fall of 2019 through a love and passion of history and beautiful craftsmanship. Having spent ten years in and around the trade building the business it was clear that there was a gap in the market for a new breed of antique dealing through technology in the form of the World Wide Web. I took inspiration from my background as an engineer working for innovative companies on the forefront of craftsmanship and my passion for technology and history evolving it into a business to be proud of. Jacksons Antique has now rapidly grown into an extremely sustainable company located in Newark, Nottinghamshire working exclusively online through our bespoke platform, our exclusive monthly newsletter and through select exhibitions.

Our business plan is simple, we seek extraordinary, beautiful and rare objects from around the world and make them available to purchase online. We take pride in known that we are providing a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution to your interior design needs. Whether you are looking for that complimenting vase, starting a collection or are a specialist we want you to know that we are 100% dedicated in providing high quality objects to you, our clients.

Our Antiques

DECORATIVE | JAPANESE | FINEST OBJECTS

Decorative objects that are antique in age and are often referred to as ‘decorative’ because they are visually appealing. Often we sell objects that are great talking points, impressive and beautifully made. They are classed as our decorative antiques and range from mirrors to sculptures.

Japanese we have a particular love for the Japanese Meiji Period (1868-1912), a time in Japanese culture of major political, economic and social change brought about the modernisation and Westernisation of the country. This was an era when craftsmanship flourished and some of the highest quality objects ever made were produced from intricate metalwork to incredibly painted ceramics.

Finest Objects often some of the finest objects available just are a marvel to look at. We are a world steeped in history with so much culture and different talents we are lucky to be able to provide a small percentage of this to you, our clients. Objects such as these deserved their own mention and Finest Objects was born as our third collection.

Antiques Are Green

We are strong believers that antiques are green, buying from Jacksons Antique is not only supporting a family owned business but it also is recycling objects that tell a story. Our objects have not been massed produced, they do not incorporate any modern day production and they are in actual fact recycling of the past. A piece that you treasure today can be handed down through generations to come or used as a little piggy bank for the future. We cant guarantee your investments will always go up but we can say that they will hold a value and we definitely cant say that for brand new objects.

At Jacksons Antique we don’t specialise

Specialising is boring! We love the freedom of purchasing a variety of objects using different crafting methods and different mediums. We believe this allows Jacksons Antique to provide something for everyone and have a large collection available online at all times.

We buy what we like

Over the years we have bought nearly everything and anything but now we focus on a higher end market adding special objects to our collections every week. We believe that if you buy the best, buy quality and buy the unusual there is always a market around the world.

Callum Jackson

Owner and Founder of Jacksons Antique

Typically in the antiques world businesses are generational and passed down through the family however, my antiques journey started from a love of buying and selling and the freedom that came with it. Coming from a family in the agricultural sector I found a foundation of hard work and determination which pushed me onto a self employed career after training as a domestic engineer and moving into management I realised working for the ‘man’ was not for me.

I started initially in my very early teens using pocket money to purchase games consoles, Pokemon cards, mobile phones and other gadgets at high school. I soon found a huge gap in the market in the early days of ebay breaking down collections and selling them all individually. This small motion lit a spark and eventually transpired into an obsession of buying and selling for a living, building a wealth of knowledge in various areas and learning by making mistakes. As I continued with my online trading I experimented with other objects and eventually fell into the path of a local antique dealer which changed the course of my career opening Jacksons Antique officially in September 2019. 

I hope throughout the website you will see my personal attention to detail, my obsession for perfection and my whole hearted passion for antiques and history. I hope that you enjoy the collection and feel the personal touch added to every single object that is available for sale. To follow my journey sign up to our free monthly newsletter below which will offer you complimentary exhibition tickets, exclusive first access to new stock and a personal relationship to Jacksons Antique. We are building a family of collectors, designers and passionate people interested in adding a special element to your home.
