Owned by John Butterworth, and established for more than 30 years, Reindeer are well known for their stock of English period furniture.
The centre is a new project for the dealership although it is situated alongside the Reindeer showrooms, housed in a 17th century former coaching inn set in extensive grounds off the A5 at Potterspury, just a short drive from Central Milton Keynes.
The opening stock is varied with a number of Steiff teddy bears priced up to £500 and, on a local note, a pair of overmantel mirrors in the neoclassical style from the 1866 inventory at Woburn Abbey. The mirrors cost £3950.
The new centre is open seven days a week and the manager can be contacted on 01908 542200.
Reindeer Centre up and running
SOME months ago I reported that Reindeer Antiques from Northamptonshire were planning a Reindeer Antiques Centre. That is now up and running and officially opened to the public on January 2.
