Hunting for memories, finding the past
At Magpies Treasures UK, we believe the past is not just history; it's a living, breathing part of us, holding our cherished memories and connecting us to generations past. Like the steady chimes of a beloved grandfather clock that echo through a home, our vintage finds and antique treasures serve as tangible links to those precious moments, allowing us to rediscover the tastes, smells, and touches that define our shared human story. Join us as we unearth these timeless connections.
Our UK treasure trails
Our treasure hunting trips across the UK are true adventures! From the vibrant Corn Street Market in Bristol, brimming with an eclectic mix of jewellery, clocks, ceramics, paintings, and books, to the charming markets of Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall, every journey is a delight. The air is always alive with the buzz of discovery, the aroma of delicious food, and the nostalgic scent of old-time sweet shops. We're even planning to film our next road trip, bringing the thrill of the hunt and our amazing finds directly to you.
Love letters
Unearthing true gems
When we find a true 'gem', it's rarely just about monetary value. It's about the stories whispered through time. These are often deeply personal items: an exquisite Edwardian brooch, fragile love letters from WWII soldiers to their cherished wives and sweethearts, or something lovingly handmade for a beloved. These are the treasures that truly resonate with us, connecting us to individual lives and shared human experiences across generations.
Bringing history to your home
Our greatest hope at Magpies Treasures UK is to bring a genuine smile to your face, sparking happy memories and forging new connections to the past. We understand the irreplaceable nature of these historical pieces. That’s why every single item is carefully packaged and dispatched with tracked mail, ensuring it arrives at your doorstep in the pristine condition it left us. Your trust in us to deliver these precious fragments of history safely is paramount.
