About Us

Paul Downs has been in the Antiques Trade for over 20 years and has had shops and trade outlets in the city as well as neighbouring towns. He now trades from Swag in Brighton’s North Laine with his partner Avril. Swag is well worth a visit. Selling a wide range of antiques and decorative pieces in a contemporary setting the pieces are chosen to sit well with modern interiors. The owners source pieces from Europe and the UK and buy regularly to ensure there is always a good choice of mirrors, furniture and decorative pieces. Moving away from the traditional antique shop Swag aims to be accessible and welcoming. It’s a business that is also a life long passion and browsers are more than welcome. If you have a specific item you are looking for feel free to make contact by email and digital images can be send of current stock.
