Rogers de Rin

Listique’s Recommendation

We feel some specialist antiques dealers have a certain allure because you are sure to be seeing the finest examples of a particular artistic movement all in one place. Rogers de Rin is such a gallery. Focussing on Wemyss Ware, a 19th century Scottish pottery that has become highly collectable, the antique dealers is the prime destination for collectors across the globe. Visitors are certain to be impressed by the ornate designs on display, which have a ‘twee’ charm to them. The antiques dealer also stocks a fine selection of oil paintings.
