ABOUT
For Colin Gee, antiques have been a life long passion, though as he is the first to acknowledge, it didn't run in the blood, "Unlike a lot of people in the antiques business, I don't come from a family of dealers. I became attracted by the fascinating bohemian world of art and artists and I've lived and worked happily in that milieu ever since". Twenty five years ago he moved to Tetbury and established the much admired Decorator Source Store. Colin explains the attraction, "I very much wanted to concentrate on decorative antiques and the Cotswolds, quite apart from being a beautiful place to live and work, is a major centre for American dealers looking for stock". Professionally, Colin specialises in both English Georgian Country House furniture and 18th century French and Continental furniture. "I enjoy the thrill of the chase, the great thing about this business is the variety. Every day is different and every piece comes with its own story. And then there are the clients. I meet some fascinating, wonderful and - occasionally - famous people, united by their love of antiques". |
