London antiques dealer Will Fisher, the founder of Jamb is obsessed with beautiful antiques from the past; when you're with him, you feel you are in the presence of an antiques whisperer. Fisher doesn’t just talk about antique furniture and antique fireplaces; he actually speaks to them, coaxing them to come alive and willing them to become relevant.
As you'd expect, his own London home is filled with centuries-old relics and antique furniture (many of which he’s been collecting since childhood). His antique shop, Jamb Limited, is London’s go-to source for antique fireplaces and reproduction fireplaces. Texture and patina speak to him as do line and volume; ever so sparingly in wonderfully hushed tones, complete with a dash of humor along the way.
N.B.: Fisher recently sold the majority of his collection at an antique auction, enabling him to begin collecting all over again. For information on his new collections, visit Jamb website at www.jamb.co.uk.
