Clyde on 4th Antiques

For the best in Antiques & Collectables

Well-known not only as an antiques dealer who runs his successful antiques business from a beautifully restored house in Melville, Clyde Terry is also a mover and shaker in the antiques business, running not only the highly successful monthly Antiques Fair at Nelson Mandela Square, the newly opened Antiques Fair at Killarney Mall and the National Antiques Faire but is also responsible for the phenomenal growth and popularity of the antiques industry – be it by mentoring new dealers or encouraging younger people to collect.

His antiques shop is a treasure trove of exquisite furniture, scintillating silver, highly collectable porcelain, sought after art as well as chandeliers, light fittings and general collectables.  On the question of whether now is the time to buy antiques, Clyde reports with confidence that through every recession, antiques have become the investment of choice.  “There is no question that people are looking for alternate investments to the stock market where you only realise your return when you sell.  With top-end antiques you have tangible assets that you can enjoy and that will, over time always give solid returns.”  People are also buying antiques for both decorative and practical reasons and are finding a myriad alternate uses for traditional antiques.  An old linen press can once housed the TV is now a DVD storage unit or a drinks cabinet, and smaller furniture pieces are used to store linen and bathroom accessories.
