This blog will from time to time complement my Wales Antiques Web Site and its printed companion. The guide is a developing listing of general suppliers of antiques and collectables in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Powys and beyond; it now including auctions and in the future specialist heritage related attractions. Over 23 years it has become an essential resource for anyone with an interest in buying and selling antiques and collectables in West Wales and Beyond. If you would like to know more visit the site here.
The WALES ANTIQUES GUIDE is published annually each spring and distributed across Mid and West Wales and beyond. We have been publishing the Guide since 1987 – twenty-three sucessful years! If you are interested in finding out more about the Wales Antiques Guide contact Paul Williams on 01239 615866 or 07790438157 or by email at paul_williams@btinternet.com. Prepared and designed by Paul Williams with the help of Norman Williams and John Higginbottom.
The annual Wales Antiques Guide 2009/2010 Edition is with the good people at the Gomer Press so for those who just can’t wait here are some screenshots gleaned from the print ready pdf files. Gomer should be delivering the guides later this week so they will be ready for distribution this weekend.
Here’s another of my current eBay auctions. If you thought that all that waste paper that slides out of your over-priced and over-fattened weekend papers was a relatively recent phenomena then think again.
This is an advertising insert, I think probably from something like the London Illustrated News. Beautifully printed in colour the true power of these corsets can is only hinted at. Produced by the Medical Battery Co. Ltd these corsets will AT LEAST aid the chest in its ‘healthy development’, ensure that the internal organs are ‘speedily strengthened’ and make the most ‘awkward figure’ graceful.
BARGAIN! On sale here.

This is the blog of Paul Williams, Ceredigion resident since 1970. I am an English and Philosophy graduate of what was once known as St David's University College, at Lampeter . I played bass in Dyfed's first punk band and, living in Llandewi Brefi, had a grandstand view of Operation Julie . Eventually, after 2 years playing bass in Brighton's 256th punk band , I returned to Wales to deal in books and then antiques. I've trained and worked as a counsellor, I am a photographer, blog and web designer and I publish the annual Wales Antiques Guide . I am married and a father of one.
