About us

At Flittermouse Antiques, we are dedicated to providing a curated selection of unique items that reflect both artistic craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Founded in 2024 by Dr Jennifer Hardy, who holds a PhD specializing in early modern drama and literature, our store is a manifestation of a lifelong passion for antiques and decorative arts. Transitioning from a career in local government to the world of antiques was a calculated decision, driven by a desire to share the beauty of historical artefacts with a wider audience.

Our collection features exquisite pieces sourced primarily from England and France. Each item is selected not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its historical significance, ensuring that our customers receive pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful. We operate from our primary location in West Sussex and also maintain a presence in the Lewes Antiques Centre in East Sussex, allowing us to reach a diverse clientele.

We believe that antiques are more than mere objects; they are vessels of history that can enrich contemporary living spaces. Our commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in our meticulous selection process, where we aim to provide items that enhance the character of any home. With a focus on education and appreciation for the arts, we invite you to explore our collection and discover the stories behind each piece.
