After moving to New Zealand at the age of 11, Julian’s connection to the past continued. A chance discovery of a 1909 embossed bottle on a local beach sparked a lifelong interest in collecting, researching and preserving antiques. What began with bottles soon expanded into a broader fascination with furniture, ceramics, silver, jewellery and decorative arts—each piece valued not just for its appearance, but for its provenance and story.

Today, Chalice Antiques reflects that philosophy. Every item is carefully selected for its authenticity, quality and historical interest. We specialise in genuine antiques and collectables, with a particular focus on British and New Zealand pieces, and take pride in offering honest descriptions supported by experience and research. If an item shows signs of age, wear or repair, it is disclosed clearly—because integrity matters.

Buying antiques online requires trust. At Chalice Antiques, you can shop with confidence knowing that:

• All items are individually assessed and accurately described

• Photographs are clear and representative of condition

• Questions are welcomed and answered knowledgeably

• Packaging is careful and appropriate for fragile, one-of-a-kind pieces

We believe antiques should be accessible, enjoyed and lived with—not hidden away. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a first-time buyer, or simply drawn to objects with soul and history, our collection is curated to help you find something meaningful.

Every piece at Chalice Antiques has already lived a life. We see our role as caretakers—connecting the past with the present and helping each item find its next chapter.
