So…. having now been married 26 years(1998) recalling getting some Stuart Crystal Cascade wine glasses, Champagne flutes and tumblrs as gifts, we were unable to find this decanter which had gone out of production. I placed an enquiry with Legacy Antiques in 2021. In July 2024 one arrived in there store and they remembered us. Very pleased with our new to decanter.

I have purchased two antique glasses from Legacy Antiques. These were birthday gifts to add to a collection. On each occasion Rebecca was extremely helpful, and the glasses arrived as described and in absolutely first rate condition having obviously been packed by an expert!

Hello Legacy Antiques,Thank you so much for delivering the pair of beautiful Dartington port glasses.They were exactly what we were looking for.We were so very impressed with the secure packaging.It was quite clear that someone fashioned the shape of the tube by hand, marked out with a pen to cut each circle of the stiff foam for inside to protect the glasses.Then the cardboard circles had leaves cut on outer edges (like you do in dressmaking) so as to fold over to fit the ends of the tube from the inside - all taped down securely.Such attention to the details ensured that the glasses would withstand the rigours of transport and arrive safely.We thought the package would not break even if a baby elephant sat on it!Well done to the person(s) who processed the order and the admin team for all communications of the progress until delivery.We feel quite confident in purchasing from you again.

By sheer good fortune I came across Legacy Antiques and Collectibles while looking for whisky glasses as part of a special birthday gift. Rebecca, who is the Founder, responded swiftly to my query about two Wedgwood crystal glasses and, when they arrived securely wrapped in all-sustainable packaging, they exceeded my expectations. Rebecca and I have since corresponded and I can thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is seeking quality pieces for their table or entertaining.

I needed two Compleat Imbiber wine glasses. Rebecca checked carefully with me regarding dimensions. The glasses were described as used but when they arrived they looked perfect. I then enquired about two more and they too were supplied, perfect as before, beautifully and securely packed and speedily delivered. Truly excellent service.

Having tried to locate an Ingrid Glashute waisted vase to add to a collection, I managed to locate one from Legacy Antiques & Collectibles via a web search. Within a couple of days I took delivery of an accurately described, flawless example at a competitive price. It was extremely well packaged & the helpful & friendly communication with Rebecca made the entire transaction a pleasant experience. As you can see from the photo, the vase has now joined its "stable mates"! I look forward to further purchases from this company in the future should the occasion arise. Well done to all concerned!

I am not a collector of antiques but an individual on a nostalgia search for some replacements for my parents’ original crystal glassware from my childhood. I found them on the well organised and easy-to-use Legacy Antiques and Collectibles website. Delicate as they were, my glasses arrived in perfect condition in packaging that can only have been performed by someone with a deep love and care for the items they sell, and a sense of exceptional personal service and respect for the customers who buy them. Full credit where credit is due.

Glass swan arrived promptly, extremely well packaged given it is a fragile item...and hugely impressed by a £2.30 refund on the postage and packing as it was not as much as initially debited.Cannot praise enough for service, professionalism and commercial integrity.

Having spent ages looking for an antique gravy separator as a gift, I finally found the perfect one on the Legacy Antiques website. Even better, it was posted promptly (despite me changing the delivery address after placing the order), packaged well and was VERY well received by my brother-in-law who loves it. Just as described and a beautiful and unusual find. I'm delighted.
