About
Emmett and White Antiques & Interiors was established in 2015 by William Emmett and Nicholas White.
After many years collecting unusual and interesting pieces we decided our house was getting rather full
and we needed to do something about it. This is how Emmett & White was born.
Our aim is to stock the unusual and the interesting; the eccentric and the eclectic; curious things for
curious people. Our stock is always changing and our ever-changing shop window is the talk of the
village. We hope the pieces shown here give you some inspiration, a small insight into the wonderful
world of Emmett & White, and most importantly a desire to come and see everything we have to offer.
It’s most certainly not a desire to make our fortune - although we always hope we could be the ones who
discover that missing Old Master and move to a tropical island. But so far - nothing! We’re here because
of a shared passion for wonderful antiques and a desire to keep collecting but also to share some of our
fabulous finds with others.
Naturally your first port of call in Alfriston will be a rather intriguing antiques shop. But whatever
your interests there’s probably something in the village that will make you want to return again and
again. From award-winning, independent bookshop, Much Ado Books to our favourite gallery, Alfriston Arts
there’s so much to see. Enjoy food and drink in one of the many pubs or tea rooms, and even stay for a
night or two. The fabulous and recently renovated Star Inn by the Polizzi Collection offers glamour and
chic, while Deans Place gives you that Lord or Lady of the Manor feeling that only a great country house
hotel can do.
