About
Jane Short
Jane has been an antiques dealer since the 1980s, including a long period in South Africa where she was an active member of the South African Antiques Association – SAADA.
She has also dealt in Central Europe and, for the last 8 years, in the UK.
Her speciality is Furniture, although she has a wide variety of selected smaller items, including art, porcelain, silver and silver plate, bronzes, clocks, treen and other objets d’art from the 17th to the 19th Centuries.
Her stock ranges from very low-priced but interesting items to selected pieces in the £2000 – £3000 range.
Jane has an interest in interior design and her choice in antiques reflects her wish that pieces she presents for sale will enhance the home and its ambiance.
