Held twelvemonth round, Sunbury has over 700 stallholders selling both vintage as well as antique goods. The summertime months are naturally busier, simply I accept visited the marketplace position at the destination of Nov as well as at that topographic point was nonetheless enough to see! Sunbury Antiques Market is a treasure trove of vintage clothing, homewares, jewelry, artwork, taxidermy, textiles, as well as around of the best pieces of vintage slice of furniture I accept always seen.
Some of my favourites include ceramic James Keiller & Son Dundee marmalade jars, colourful melamine kitchen tabular array as well as chair sets, vintage Christmas drinking glass ornaments, enamel teapots, as well as large pieces of one-time store fittings such equally wardrobes as well as haberdashery cabinets.
