  • Can I buy antiques from you online?

    Yes. A selection of our current stock is available through our online store. As our collection changes regularly, not every item in the showroom will appear online immediately. If you see something on our website or social media, please contact us to check availability.

  • What condition are your antiques in?

    Antiques naturally show signs of age, use and previous ownership, and these characteristics form part of their individual history and appeal. We describe each piece as accurately as possible and highlight notable wear, repairs or alterations. Additional photographs and condition information are always available on request.

  • Do you buy antiques from private sellers?

    Yes. We are always interested in hearing about characterful antique furniture, decorative interiors and unusual individual pieces. Please contact us with clear photographs, approximate dimensions, your location and any known history. Although we cannot purchase everything offered, we will always respond honestly if an item may be suitable for Larkin’s.

  • Do you provide antique valuations?

    We do not provide formal written valuations for insurance, probate or legal purposes. However, if you are considering selling an item, you are welcome to send us photographs and details, and we can let you know whether it may be of interest to Larkin’s Antiques.

  • Is there customer parking and accessible access?

    Free on-site parking is available for customers of Derwentside Shopping Mill, and the ground floor of the mill is accessible. However, Larkin’s Antiques is located on the first floor and is currently accessible by stairs only, as the lift is restricted to carrying goods. Please contact us if this presents a difficulty, and we will be happy to assist with photographs, detailed information or remote enquiries.
