 Antique Info


Welcome to our wonderful new website!

At last the antique industry is embracing modern technology and hereby giving the wonderful world of antiques a new forum on which to be admired.

At KAY'S ANTIQUES we hope to extend our web service to old and new customers with the same specialist attention that you would receive when you walk into our shop. We are very excited at the prospect of trading via the internet and will hopefully be updating our stock listing frequently. I am sure browsers on our site have been feasting their eyes on some of the beauties we have in stock and would like to know more about some pieces we have on offer. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or special requests, and be sure that we will help you in any possible way. As I am sure you have seen, we specialize in antique silver and jewellery. However we also deal in some antique glass, china and objet d'art as well as modern jewellery and silver.

As founder members of the antique dealers association of South Africa we guarantee all goods sold as correct and unaltered unless stated otherwise. So rest assured you are receiving the best possible quality and service from a family business which has been running for nearly fifty years.

We hope you enjoy our site and visit it often as we hope to acquire new pieces which will certainly be on par with the quality we show you here.

I have included below a list of birthstones for each month in case you require such information, plus a list of wedding anniversary gifts. For our silver lovers, I have included a list of reighning monarchs which I am sure will come in handy.

If you would like more information on our shop or stock, please feel free to contact us through the 'Contact Us' page. If you are a collector or are looking for a specific item, please go on to fill in the item request form and we will let you know if we can help.

Well, that's all for now. Once again, I hope you enjoy our site and visit it often. If you would like to comment on the site or make any suggestions, please do so.

Thank you,
The Team
