Partridge is confident at GBP 1.8m

David Hargreaves

THE antiques market continues to see buoyant conditions, with "tremendous" interest being shown in decorative arts, particularly French and English furniture and silver, Partridge Fine Arts said today, writes David Hargreaves.

The solid market conditions helped the antiques company lift interim earnings 23.7% to GBP 1.8 million, on turnover of GBP 10.9 million, up from GBP 8.4 million.

Chairman John Partridge said trading has been very encouraging, with the buoyant conditions continuing into summer. "I look forward to the rest of the year with confidence." The company is continuing to campaign against import tax levied on works of art imported into the European Union. Partridge is paying a 1.75p interim dividend, up from 1.55p.
