Grays

The Grays Antique Market is a heaven for art lovers as the place is home to one of the most expansive collection of collectables, pottery, books, vintage fashion products, etc. Located at the nineteenth century terracotta building right in the heart of London’s West End, this market was founded by Bennie Gray in 1977. There are over two hundred dealers selling precious artworks, right from 40 BC to the twentieth century. The Grays products have been categorised into various ranges that encompass antiquities, Asian, barware, books, ceramics, dolls and teddy bears, collectables, perfume bottles, frames and mirrors, etc.

Some of the most exotic and exquisite art pieces are available in this art market. For instance, some of the products in the Grays antiquities include a Bronze Sculpture of Cupid, dating back to 1st-2nd century AD (circa), and a Roman statue that is nude except for a mantle tied around the waist. Other products include a bronze statuette of Hermanubis belonging to the 2nd century (circa), a Roman Gold Ring, Agate and ceramic necklaces, and a Bactrian Gold Necklace, etc.

Grays is also well-known for glass products. These include a Peking glass snuff bottle, a 19th century yellow-coloured bottle featuring a Chinese design, Whitefriars 'Sunburst' Vase (the tangerine sunburst vase by Geoffrey Baxter for Whitefriars), hailing from the Art Deco period, Bohemian Glass Ware designed for the Ottoman market, among others.
