Samuels (Founder)
Antiques dealing for Maxine started 25 years ago as an expedient
way of disposing of a large inherited collection of blue and
white china. This preoccupation has expanded progressively over
25 years culminating in 'Marryat Antiques'. The shop is named
after Maxine's ancestor, Captain Frederick Marryat. |
