UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED BAN ON THE SALE OF IVORY
The UK government has proposed introducing a ban on the sale of all ivory items (with a number of exceptions) and at the moment this is progressing through Parliment and the House of Lords and I expect this to become law before the end of the year. It will still be legal to own ivory items and you will be able to pass these onto family and friends and as mentioned certain items will be exempt from this ban.
Whilst we all agree with the preservation of elephants and do not condone the slaughter of these animals for their ivory, I do not believe this type of ban on all antique ivory items will help to save one elephant unfortunately.
I have made the decision to dispose of my remaining ivory stock and am going through a process of reducing the prices of these items on a daily basis, so if you would like to own one of these marvellous pieces, please keep checking the website and take advantage of these highly discounted prices. This will be closing shortly as I will be sending my remaining items to Europe for sale, so don’t hesitate to long!

Hello,
Apologies for not updating sooner, but as many of you know I have recently moved my storage facilities to be nearer to the Emsworth showroom. I have also moved house and therefore have been extremely busy over the last few weeks. Back to normal now! I will be updating this section more often and will have news about the showroom being open over the weekend 29/30th September after the weekend.
Please remember that the Emsworth showroom is only open by appointment at the moment, so please contact me if you wish to view anything there.
