The Beedham Collection Part II

The Beedham family has been collecting early oak furniture and related works of art for over 70 years, however, the origins of this collection goes even further back.

Beedham Antiques was established in 1974 and moved to Holme Hall in Bakewell Derbyshire a large Grade I listed 15th/16th Manor House where many of the privately owned pieces pieces for sale in this collection were displayed in their authentic surroundings.

Celebrating their 50th year anniversary in the antiques business, The Beedham family is carrying on its tradition of supplying the finest Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean furniture to important Manor Houses and collectors alike.

Since the family were great private collectors, many of the pieces on display in the saleroom have not been seen on the market for a number of decades.
