looking back . . .

My mother grew up on the family dairy farm, 'Pinebank', situated in the heart of Ulster in the townland of Tullygally, County Armagh. It was there that my grandfather began dealing in antiques on-the-side until their land was vested for the construction of the 'new' city of Craigavon. Three generations had to up stakes and move into town, promptly ushering a new chapter for each of their lives.

For my grandfather it saw him setting up shop on Lurgan High Street - dealing in fine furniture, porcelain and clocks. Years later my mother would begin trading in giftware and floristry which eventually developed into 'Vintage & Value' - a staple of our town where I cut my teeth in house clearances and haggling.

Following in these generational footsteps D. Patterson Antiques brings you a curated collection of pieces that harmonise in light of their sculptural form, patina and presence. Here you'll find the rustic and vernacular alongside Georgian finery - and anything else that catches my eye!

from chipboard to Chippendale...

That's the thrill of the antiques trade - no two days are the same and you never know what you'll see next!

Back in 2015 a chance purchase ignited a passion for all things vernacular - especially Irish country furniture - that ultimately authored the tagline 'there's beauty in simplicity'. Since then, I've helped curate the collections of the Armagh County and Ulster Museum along with contributions to Kinmonth's definitive book 'Irish Country Furniture and Furnishings 1700-2000'.

But you’ll see so much more here! All of these objects tell a story in their own unique way. It could be a well-worn stretcher on a chair, a tarnished bit of silver or a dusty old painting – history comes to life when we take time to look and listen to each piece.

I trust you'll enjoy your time spent browsing my collection and I look forward to hearing from you.

David Patterson.

house clearances & valuations

Since 2018 I have been providing valuations of antiques and general house contents for the purposes of probate and insurance.

Running parallel with this I also offer a professional and efficient full or partial house clearance service. My approach is always to see as much of a house contents rehomed, repurposed or reused. Anything which may not be commercial, but still is practical, is donated to a number of local charities ensuring that waste is minimized during the clearance process.

For more information please don’t hesitate to contact me.
