On a rainy Saturday morning, we stumbled across Heatons in the quiet Wiltshire village of Tisbury. Heatons has been a dealer of antique prints for over twenty years. In their Tisbury shop and online store, there are literally thousands of vintage prints and illustrations from the 17th to 19th centuries, covering a wide range of topics.

It’s a chaotic treasure trove of papers and boxes pilled high, but a real joy to explore. Interiors lovers will find something interesting to frame, whether that’s an antique map, or hand-painted botanical illustration. In our fast-paced world, there’s something special about someone who has dedicated their life to collecting. Owner Ros’ knowledge shines through if you stop to chat to her.

The shop is open most Saturdays, but also by appointment, so it’s worth ringing or emailing ahead. The collection can also be viewed online for worldwide delivery.
