About Us

Tim and Betsan Bowen established Tim Bowen Antiques in Ferryside, Carmarthenshire in 2003. Tim, born and raised in West Wales discovered an interest in vernacular furniture and folk art when he worked weekends in a local auction room. He went onto work for many years at Country Antiques Kidwelly. Betsan worked in the prime London property market for twenty years.

Their passion for country furniture, folk art is as much about a joy in its form, colour and authenticity as well as its construction, purpose and history by makers whose names are usually long forgotten. Their stock of furniture, folk art, textiles, pottery and pictures are sold online or by appointment.

This summer we will be exhibiting at ‘Art at the Hall’ in Llangathen Temperance Hall, Carmarthenshire SA32 8QD (Just near Aberglasney gardens). Our antique Welsh furniture, treen and folk-art will be exhibited alongside works by some wonderful contemporary painters, sculptors, ceramicists, jewellers, textile and print makers.

The exhibition runs daily from Friday 22nd August to Sunday 7th September, with an open evening on Thursday 21st August.
