About Vintage Fantasia
A World of Magical Treasures, Curated With Care.
Introductory Story
“Welcome to Vintage Fantasia — a carefully curated collection of unique, unusual, and beautiful pieces from across the ages.”
And a dream come true.
The Dream… The Magic… started for me around 2016 when I decided to sell most of my Matchbox car collection that I’d built up during my 70’s childhood.
The rest I kept for my soon to be born son.
It was quite the revelation. Not just the delight of surprise in how much collectors were keen to spend on these cars, it was more the powerful awakening inside me that I actually adored the process of researching, listing, selling and knowing that these cars (and by now other childhood treasures) were going to a new home where they would be appreciated and -dare I say- LOVED anew by someone new.
Our Philosophy
This spark within led me naturally to attending auctions and antique fairs etc. where I found that I had a really good eye for unique, interesting, amusing and truly beautiful items, which are thrilling to have around until I can find them a new loving home.
For a few years, I enjoyed this dream as a hobby/side-business alongside doing a ‘proper job’ until I was ready to go live the dream as an actual profession.
Then the pandemic hit.
I took a huge hit, being furloughed, then laid off, and seeing all my profits go on bills and the realities of life with a young child.
Back to square one.
Slowly, but surely, I rekindled the magic, leading us to this very year of 2025 when I was blessed with the opportunity to take early retirement.
So, that brings us now to here.
Full-time living the dream.
To hopefully share the magic I feel in finding these fine art treasures you see in this website/shop and discovering something perfect for yourself and/or loved ones, who will cherish whatever it do be that catches your heart and inspires your mind.
May you forever be well with smiles,
