0Miles was born in 1970 and raised in a country house in Lancashire. Here, his parents’ eclectic interiors (his mum once famously painted the loo seat purple!) undoubtedly stoked his interest in antiques and design.
Trained yet bored by his textile design degree, Miles moved on and with his mum, established a local retail emporium. He supplied antique props for the shop floor, which gained interest and attention from members of the public.
This was the beginning of Miles Griffiths Antiques.
Opening his first antiques shop, Miles quickly gained a local fan club, he’d often return with his wares to find queues waiting for their next antiques fix. Later, having outgrown the shop, Miles dealt primarily with the antiques trade at fairs. This meant very early morning starts and he was soon travelling all over the country.
He established a following on the circuit as a reputable dealer with a superb eye for the decorative and unexpected.Now in its 34th year, Miles Griffiths Antiques is a friendly, family run company with Miles’ wife Rebecca and good friend Mark on board.
Miles and Rebecca’s children, Maisie, aged 17 and Sandy, 14, often help out in the holidays.
Many of you will have met Miles’ faithful canine companion Alf, who appears in many of the website images. Sprout, the Norfolk terrier, came along in 2014.
Miles deals mainly in English antiques from the 1700s to the best 20th century designers.
Now based totally online, with an ever changing plethora of antiques to please and excite private and trade customers alike.
