We have been shopping at this business for in excess of 20 years. We usually visit the shop every time we visit Keswick even if it’s just for a friendly chat with Brian. We have always found Brian friendly, honest and trustworthy and there is never any pressure to buy. Brian is extremely knowledgeable about all the antiques in his shop and always offered at a fair price. We mainly go in Beatrix Potter figurines for our daughter who collects them. Amazingly he remembers which ones we have bought previously. Only once have we bought one that we already had so took it back and Brian offered us our money back - no questions asked. Brian is an authority on Keswick School of Industrial Arts. If you want a quality antique at a fair price this is a must visit shop.

Being ceramics collectors, Price Walker Antiques was on the top of our list when we visited Keswick. The wealth of items from The Keswick School of Industrial Arts, Whitefriars glass to ceramics from various periods makes this a perfect place to visit for anyone who just wants to buy beautiful antiques for decoration or for a serious collector who is looking to stock up on their collection. The price is what you would expect for beautiful pieces of art but definitely better than overpriced London. Brian is extremely, knowledgeable, helpful and experienced in this field of antiques; what I would call an expert. We happily chatted away while comparing pictures of our ceramic collection. We not only left with several items but also a wealth of information. No doubt, we will be returning in the future for more chats and hopefully more beautiful items. Thanks Brian.

Very helpfull and friendly, bought a Moorcroft vase at my own pace so I wasn't presured into a sale, I was even offered an exchange if the present wasn't liked. Lots of choice to choose from can't remember the individual piece name that I bought (photo).

Keswick School of Industrial Arts (KSIA) played an important role in the Arts & Crafts movement and taught metalworking skills in the town for 100 years. This dealer has probably the finest selection of the school’s products that you will see anywhere and he is knowledgable too. He has the most complete set of design numbers that I have come across and any aspiring collector would do well to pay a visit. Handwork like this is not cheap however and you will only find top quality pieces here. Also stocks glassware and other antiques. Two minutes from the Moot Hall, in the centre of this historic market town.

From April 1894 until 1984' Keswick School of Industrial Arts was a centre for training local craftsmen, producing high quality articles in copper, brass, silver, and stainless steel.
Many of these items, stamped 'K.S.I.A' make their way to and from Price Walker Antiques.
It took me more than 20 years to discover this gem.
Visitors to Keswick, interested in antiques/history must not miss this

Popped in on a rainy day in Keswick, was overawed with the vast array of antiques and mid 20th century objects on display, was especially taken by the Whitefriars glass on display in quantities I had never seen in one place before. Ended up purchasing two Whitefriars nailhead vases and also a Whitefriars glass swan, added bonus with my new found knowledge is I found another glass swan locally when I arrived home.

Bought an item without looking as closely as I should have. Later noticed it was damaged, took it back next day, reaction was rude and unhelpful, you should have checked, sold as seen, no returns . I Suggest you avoid this place.

Hi...
We are sorry you have had a bad experience with an antique shop in Keswick but we are positive it was not our shop...
We have not had a request for a refund for well over a decade and we have a zero tolerance of damage or restoration within the shop and do not knowing stock any item thus.We would happily rectify any problem with an item that had slipped through the net which includes black light testing on ceramics...
We can only ask that you come back or get in touch and tell us what you have bought and we can take it from there.We have tried reaching out to you repeatedly via trip advisor contact and you have so far not engaged with us which is disappointing and prevents us from solving any possible issues.
Kind regards
Bri...

The items in this shop are over expensive, everyday rubbish available at most charity shops at half the price ( try the one across the road )
Man behind the counter very unfriendly and does not greet you with a smile.

Thankfully all my lovely customers and visitors to the shop over the last 24 years will know your comments are not only cynical but laughable and reflect more on you as a person rather than my business………I hope they brought you some comfort…

Found this shop and well worth a visit
A good range of interesting items to suit all tastes
We bought a good vintage Margaret Tarrant print as we collect them and old large examples are difficult to find
