Chris Holmes Antiques specialises in rare, unusual and carefully sourced pieces gathered from respected collections across Britain and Europe. Based in a Grade II listed building in Knaresborough, our two-floor gallery brings together a distinctive and very personal collection: Roman and Greek artefacts, Medieval works, 16th- and 17th-century Italian decorative pieces, Folk Art, architectural salvage and contemporary art. Each object is chosen for its character, integrity and the story it carries.

Led by husband-and-wife team antique dealer Chris Holmes and artist Chloë Holt, the business draws on decades of combined experience in the antiques trade and fine art world. Our approach is defined by connoisseurship, careful research and a genuine respect for the history of every item we handle.

With over 30 years experience in the antiques trade Chris Holmes is renowned for his uniquely distinctive identity and individual approach to interiors, inspired by a reverence for the past and a desire to preserve it for future generations.
