More about Damian Cleall

Damian writes……. "I spent a great many of my early years as a young boy helping my mother Christine in her antique shop in Brewers Lane, Richmond, Surrey this is where I learnt the art of buying and selling antiques.After attending Drama school I applied for a job as porter at Spinks St James and worked my way up to being a fine art assistant and bullion dealer. After leaving Spinks I managed two shops in the Kings Road, Chelsea. My next step was helping my mother drive her American Clients around the country as she was now an Antique Courier after selling her shop in Richmond. She was able to show me a great many hidden sources to buy from.

Following on from this I opened two antique shops in the London area the first in Twickenham and then later in Sheen Lane, Sheen, nr Richmond. I then met my wonderful wife Sally and we moved from Chiswick where we lived after we married down to Sussex.

We purchased a very old house in Amberley, Sussex and then looked for a shop in Sussex. We found a small shop in Petworth which we opened 5 years ago - my wife was now expecting our first child 'Amberley' and Jade our 2 year old quickly followed.

The shop in Petworth was too small so we moved to the High Street, Petworth to a larger shop which was very successful selling to the Trade and Private Clients, decorators and overseas buyers. After moving home to Lavant, Chichester in 2006 a fantastic opportunity arrived a shop in High Street, Arundel. "What a great spot " I thought and quickly moved in. So far we have had many complimentary comments "A breath of fresh air " one said, "Very unusual and reasonably priced antiques" said another. An Aladdin's cave was also said... perhaps you would like to visit our Aladdin's cave".
