It was a pleasure to deal with Mr. Wells - he was most helpful and accommodating.

I have no hesitation whatever in recommending Mr. Wells and his highly responsive staff to anyone who is interested in purchasing fine antiques, art and vintage pieces. I have now purchased ('on line') two wonderful items from Nicholas Wells Antiques - a unique vintage coffee table and a beautiful antique Georgian side table. Each of them were precisely as represented in the photographs and as described on the firm's website. They arrived (after their trans-Atlantic voyages) carefully packed (and, importantly, easy to unpack!) and in good order. It was a pleasure to deal with Mr. Wells - he was most helpful and accommodating. As anyone who has visited the website can clearly see, Mr. Wells certainly has an eye. I have no hesitation whatever in recommending Mr. Wells and his highly responsive staff to anyone who is interested in purchasing fine antiques, art and vintage pieces.
