The British Antiques Company: An Antique Furniture Store Near Me on Henderson Road

The British Antiques Company keeps its shop at 213 Henderson Road #01-04, Singapore 159553, inside Henderson Industrial Park, and its official About page lists opening hours of 11 am to 7 pm daily. If you typed antique furniture store near me anywhere around Bukit Merah or Tiong Bahru, this is the address for Victorian walnut, Edwardian mahogany and English oak, with a c.1860 walnut sewing table listed at S$1,800.

The founder, who signs the About page as Chrissy Tasker, traces the business to an evening with friends in a British home, where every guest was handed a different vintage fine bone china tea set and the talk turned to where each one came from. That night, she writes, started her passion for antiques, and she founded The British Antiques Company in 2013. Teacups are still on the shelves today: a Pineapple pattern set by ROLF of Norway is S$18.

Regulars may still know the place by an older name. A 2023 Uchify guide explains that the company was rebranded from Nephew and Nieces, which is why the web address is neandni.com and the contact email still begins with nephewandnieces. The same guide says the unit is shared with a sister company, Stanhope Chesterfields, and tells first-timers to look for either the Stanhope Chesterfields signboard or the Nephew and Nieces logo when hunting for the door.

The stock is overwhelmingly British, sourced from the UK and Europe according to the About page. A Victorian walnut sewing table from around 1860, with inlay on its top, is S$1,800, marked down from S$3,600. A three-tier Edwardian oak barrister bookcase with leaded glass, the lift-and-slide kind lawyers once used to keep heavy volumes dust-free, is also S$1,800. A set of circa 1910 Edwardian flame mahogany nesting tables in the Queen Anne Revival style costs S$490.

Mid-century British pieces fill the gaps between the period furniture. A Wrighton teak chest of drawers from the 1960s, with four drawers and sculpted teak pulls, is S$890. Six Ercol Windsor dining chairs in dark elm and steam-bent beech, finished in the Old Colonial colourway and dated to the 1960s or 1970s, sell as a set for S$1,800. A smoker's bow captain's chair with a studded padded seat, the old English pub chair, is S$250.

Her World's August 2026 roundup of Singapore vintage stores, written by Bryan Goh, picks out Chesterfield lounges in rich leather, Royal Albert bone china, especially the Old Country Roses pattern, and writing bureaus that would suit a Jane Austen novel. It also notes occasional Italian finds such as drink trolleys, wall clocks and candelabras, while the overall look stays British, maximalist and heavy on darker woods like mahogany and walnut.

Several listings are not in the shop yet. They are pre-orders on a shipping container due in November 2026. An Edwardian inlaid mahogany bow-fronted display cabinet from about 1900 to 1910, built in the Sheraton Revival spirit to show off porcelain and silver, is S$3,800 as a pre-order. A 19th-century mahogany astragal-glazed double-door display cabinet on ball-and-claw feet, 122 cm high and wide, is S$1,200 and marked to arrive on that container.

An Ercol 428 Quaker rocking chair with a tall arched back, five spindles and a solid elm seat is listed at S$600 and is also due on the November container. If you want something you can carry out the same week, look at pieces without a container note in the title: the shipping policy says in-stock items go out three to five days after an order, with pre-order delivery dates advised separately.

The refund policy offers 30 days to request a return after receiving an item, but the item has to come back in the condition it arrived, with proof of purchase, and the request must be emailed to nephewandnieces@gmail.com before anything is sent back. Parcels returned without an approved request are refused. Sale items cannot be returned at all, and that matters here, because many listings show a crossed-out regular price, so treat those purchases as final.

Local delivery runs through a third-party courier, and the shop says an SMS goes out once the courier collects your order. Inspect furniture on arrival and report damage straight away, as the refund policy asks. One honest judgement: the Mayfair two-seater Chesterfield in antique blue, S$2,550 against a regular S$4,200, is handmade new in the UK rather than antique, so skip it if age and patina are what you came for.

The shop suits people furnishing one room around a single dark-wood statement, which is exactly how Her World frames it: one well-chosen piece does most of the work. Tea-set collectors come for the china, and anyone needing a dining set without new-furniture prices looks at the Ercol chairs. Because hours run daily until 7 pm, a weekday evening after work is the easy slot, and the industrial estate is quieter then than on weekends.

Two other dealers sit within a few hundred metres. Noden, at 211 Henderson Road #02-02, specialises in Danish Modern furniture from the 1940s to the 1970s and closes every Monday and Tuesday, so plan a pairing from Wednesday to Sunday. 1B2G Important Design, listed by Her World at 203 Henderson Road, #04-10 Wing B, sells experimental vintage that it deliberately leaves unrestored. If a piece here is only a pre-order, those two are the obvious back-up.

For air after the dust, Singapore's OneMap places Henderson Waves, the pedestrian bridge of the Southern Ridges trail, about 650 metres south of Henderson Industrial Park along Henderson Road. Going the other way, Redhill MRT station on the East-West Line, EW18 at 920 Tiong Bahru Road, sits roughly a kilometre north, and Tiong Bahru MRT station about 1.1 km to the north-east, which makes the shop an easy add-on to a Tiong Bahru morning.
