Welcome to Philip Burke Antiques
To step inside the Philip Burke Antiques house of antiques and collectables, is to discover the mastery and mystery of Mr. Philip Burke.
Apprenticed to the antiques and collectables trade at the early age of 15, now some forty years later, Mr. Burke demonstrates a nearly supernatural ability to identify and acquire the very best antique and collectable representing 18th and 19th century English and continental furniture.
Pieces that were selected not only for their craftsmanship and authenticity, but also for their superior value. Word of Mr. Burke's reputation for such has indeed traveled, even to his fellow tradesmen, who can often be found perusing Mr. Burke's choice of antiques and collectables, hoping to secure one of these select pieces to offer their own clientele.
The same piece, but not the same price.
