Looking to rehome your family treasures? Attic Antiques have been helping Aberdeenshire families for over two decades.

Attic Antiques was founded in 2006 by Robert Cook after an initial career in museums and the heritage sector. Unlike most antiques dealers we don't have a shop but instead trade mostly online and at fairs. Because we don't have premises, we don't have high overheads and so we can give you the best prices for your antiques and collectables. We offer a friendly, personal service which includes home visits and valuations.

As some of you already know, Attic Antiques is saying Sayonara to the UK for two weeks as we head off to Japan!

From tomorrow, we’ll be jetting off to discover antiques, curiosities and treasures in the Land of the Rising Sun.

But fear not, if you have anything waiting to be collected from us, we’ll have family staying at HQ to hand it over while we’re away.

Stay tuned for our Japanese Odyssey, hopefully with a few interesting finds along the way!

Have you ever wanted to see through the eyes of someone in history? This telescope brings us remarkably close.

Made in 1915 by R & J Beck of London, this is a British military Signalling & General Service telescope that was used for spotting signals, reconnaissance and observing the battlefield.

Believed to have been carried by a Gordon Highlanders officer, it has survived for more than 110 years — and the optics are still clear.

Looking through it today is an experience: seeing through the very same glass that once looked out across a First World War battlefield.

Objects like this make history real - something held, carried and relied upon by a soldier who was actually there.

It's definitely a day for sitting by a window looking out and what better seat than this hand carved 19th century spinning chair? Some of you might remember the carved table from Fraserburgh we showed? This piece is by the same incredible maker.

We never know what antiques we'll find next but, like this question mark brooch, the North East always keeps them old and interesting!

Do you want to see the pages of a book from 1904, full of adverts for businesses in Fraserburgh? Of course you do! In 1904 the Fraserburgh Bowling and Lawn Tennis Club had a Bazaar to raise £750 needed for a Red Blaes Court and a Pavillion. Here is the book promoting that event chocked full of adverts from Broch businesses...

One of the fun things to collect in North East Scotland are all the local signed pocket watches. Nearly every village had a jeweller or watchmaker meaning there are so many to find.

After visiting Ballater last weekend we have this one by J Knowles & Sons which covers the Ballater and Aboyne categories!

Spot the wooden book! Perhaps used for hiding treasures, more likely a novelty ticket box, splendid at both!

We are privileged to see so many spaces that others don't and some that won't exist forever. Luckily this 1980s kitchen (complete with built in deep fat fryer and step for higher cabinets) is being kept by the new owners ✨

We travelled to a house call in Ballater yesterday and we weren't disappointed! Amongst the interesting finds was this Seaton lidded jar, complete with a surprise inscription inside.

What do you do when your belt no longer fits? Make the buckle into a brooch! This large Sterling silver brooch started life as a two part belt in 1890 but over time it was fused into this distinctive and unusual piece.
