Is it really that time of year already? Hope you’ve all get through most of the Christmas shopping and have decked the halls with boughs of Holly.

Canonbury Antiques Christmas

We’d just like to notify you of our opening hours and operations over the Christmas period. We will be closed from December the 24th to January the 2nd (we really need a holiday!). Of course the website will be fully operational and all emails and enquiries responded to – so please feel free to buy lots of goodies. Any items purchased in that period will not be send till January 2nd.

It’s been a fantastic year and thank you for all being lovely customers. I guess this is the point when we say:

MERRY CHRISTMAS and all the best for a WONDERFUL 2013 full of peace and happiness.

All the best

John Constable Violin Maker Extraordinaire

Back in the 70s, amongst my wares over at Bermondsey Antique Market in London a gentleman picked up a violin and an oil painting depicting a country scene with a hay wagon in the foreground. He asked me for any provenance or information on both articles.

I promptly replied that the violin was by John Constable and the painting was by Stradivarius. He looked puzzled and replied: “Have you not got this information the wrong way round?”

” Certainly Not Sir” I replied.
” How Come? ” He asked.

I said: “It’s simple. Stradivarius was a lousy painter and John Constable was useless at making violins”
