I’m Louis Walpole; over two decades of working for and alongside some of the best antique dealers in the country at London’s renowned Portobello Road market have helped to form a detailed understanding of and appreciation for a diverse array of antiques.
I have been trading full time since 2018; online and at fairs / markets and since 2024 from a permanent, physical shop on the Northdown Road in Cliftonville, Margate - finally open after a lengthy restoration.
The shop has a vast array of antique and vintage pieces; the signs, posters, curious objects etc that you see on here sit alongside bottles, jars, silver jewellery, cutlery, tools and a whole lot more besides.
It is open Fridays and Saturdays 10-5, Sundays 10(ish)-4 - all other times by chance or by appointment.
Not everything that is on the website is in the shop and not everything that's in the shop is on the website, but get in touch and I'll make sure you're able to buy whatever it is you're after - in person or remotely.

I’m Louis Walpole. Over a decade of working for and alongside some of the best antique dealers in the country at London’s renowned Portobello Road have helped me to form a detailed understanding of, and appreciation for, a diverse array of antiques. In 2016, after ‘dabbling’ in the trade since childhood I decided to follow my heart and (ignoring a myriad of people advising against it) leave my salaried job to trade full time. Since then I have travelled around England and Western Europe collecting the pieces that particularly interest me. These pieces loosely follow the themes of; automotive, advertising, scientific and industrial. I have a select number of items on display in Atlam on Portobello Road. The shop is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and on Saturdays from 8am to 5pm.
If you would like to view any of my pieces in London, please get in touch to confirm that they’re at the shop or to arrange for me to take them there for you. It may also be possible for me to bring items to your home/bar/garage/pub etc so that they can be fully appreciated in-situ, again please just get in touch and we’ll see what can be organised."
