About Us

CATALOGUE NUMBER 18, NOW AVAILABLE, PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A COMPLIMENTARY COPY

The Finch's strive to produce an entertaining, exciting and eclectic experience through their unique biannual catalogues and their personally designed exhibition show stands. They exhibit at prestigious annual Antique Fairs both in the UK, Belgium and the USA staging pioneering and cutting edge 'Wunderkammer' displays. A loyal and international clientele has been built and encouraged over the past ten years all of whom are regularly sent the catalogue which is renowned for the quality of its presentation.

All of Finch and Co's goods are guaranteed to be authentic and genuine. All objects are sourced for their impeccable provenance, their quality and, of course, their curiosity.
As partners in both life and business, the Finch's always try to agree on all purchases believing that their confidence in and love of an object will inspire others to also desire and possess it.

The Finch's live and work to create a sought after, contemporary cabinet of curiosities. They like their 'Kunstkammer' creations to enrich their clients lives. Linking the past with the present they want to give them a sense of wonder and discovery by quietly undertaking an enchanted journey through the pages of their catalogue or the shelves of their show stand.

Finch and Co frequently sell to Museum curators and donors. Private collectors are often advised on the creation and formation of present day cabinets of curiosities. Interior designers are equally welcomed and catered for in their requests for particular items of natural history, ethnographic or other works of art, that can otherwise be very hard to find.
