Top Banana Antiques

General information

Top Banana Antiques Mall, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, give clients both trade and retail what they need.

A vibrant, busy market place where 40 professional established dealers sell.

Top Banana Antiques Mall is not just another antiques centre. We are a Mall in the true sense of the word, offering established dealers (the shortest time in business 6 years through to the longest with 44 years under his belt), a cost effective shop of their own inside the carapace of the Top Banana brand.

Opening 7 days a week with an optimistic bustling market-type cafe atmosphere. Decorative antiques constantly on the move in and out of the shop, with rock music, aroma of freshly polished stock and brewed. Constant talk of recent buying trips from Hungary, France, Germany and even ENGLAND!

A combination of a professional, educated antique dealer selling clearly labelled commercial A-list stock at a realistic, competitive price with each proprietor having their own room/shop; yet motivated to sell for others with the back up of a manager and two assistants and of course 60 contact lists and clients built up over decades.

Whilst Tetbury was traditionally a combination of period oak and painted furniture and decorative accessories, Top Banana Antiques Mall has offered a whole new spectrum to customers ranging from a contemporary 1960s chrome coffee table, through to fine art with the complete elephants bag of merchandise in between. The majority of Top Banana dealers lean towards the decorative, which we at Top Banana know is what our customers want.

The trade as a whole needs to wake up!!! Antiques need not be boring. The reason the majority of us joined the trade was to have fun and make a living out of something we enjoyed. Top Banana offers a refreshingly different attitude where the client is more important than we are, and is not confronted either by a grumpy book/paper twitching shopkeeper or by the euphemistic statement 'Good Afternoon are you looking for something in particular?" and is not just an inconvenience to our daily routine.

Top Banana Antiques Mall works because we work - open Monday to Saturday 10 am to 5.30 pm and Sunday 11 am to 5 pm, and at any other time by appointment.
