About Bygone Relics

About Us

Having grown up in the United Kingdom, surrounded by the rich history of its towns, villages, and the broader European continent, I developed an early and deep love for anything historic. From an early age, I was fascinated by antiques and collectibles. My journey into the world of antiques began with collecting comic books, postcards, and stamps. These humble beginnings sparked a lifelong passion that would eventually grow to encompass a wide range of eclectic, vintage, and antique items.

Throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I spent countless hours scouring markets, fairs, and auctions, always in search of unique treasures that told stories of the past. In the mid-1990s, I made the life-changing decision to move to Australia, where I continued my passion for collecting. The Australian landscape introduced me to a whole new world of antiques and collectibles, and my love affair with historic items only deepened.

By 2025, after years of curating and collecting one-of-a-kind pieces, I decided to take the next big step in my journey and move into the online world. I wanted to create a platform where antique lovers, collectors, and enthusiasts could access a curated selection of rare and interesting items, each with its own unique history. Bygone Relics was born out of a desire to share my carefully sourced pieces with a broader audience. Today, I’m excited to offer an online shopping experience where you can explore a diverse range of antiques, vintage finds, and collectibles.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, I hope you find something special in my collection. Every item is handpicked for its uniqueness and historical significance, and I take great pride in offering items that are as beautiful as they are meaningful. Thank you for visiting Bygone Relics, and I hope you enjoy the experience of browsing and discovering rare treasures from the past.
