The founder of the business, Peter Bunting, has been dealing in antique oak furniture, portraits, tapestries and related items for over 30 years. He worked for 17 years as a fashion photographer, but collected antiques and eventually became a dealer.
Premises
The showrooms are situated at Peter's home at Harthill Hall, three miles from the historic market town of Bakewell, on an upland called Priest’s Hill, in thirteen acres of pastureland. This area is the home to marauding highland cattle and whiteface woodland sheep.
Harthill Hall, dating from the 13th century in the reign of Henry III, was where armies were raised for the crusades and provides the perfect setting for antiques. Here Peter’s early oak furniture, portraits and tapestries are all shown to advantage in surroundings contemporary with their original use, within the many showrooms that occupy the lovingly-restored barns and outbuildings of the hall.
Fairs & Vetting
Peter Bunting Antiques selectively exhibits at major antiques fairs in London including the Decorative Fair, Battersea and the Art & Antiques Fair Olympia
In addition Peter sits on the vetting committee for many of them.
