Become Part of Bankside Emporium
Bankside Emporium offers a welcoming and inspiring space for antique dealers, collectors, and independent traders to showcase their treasures. Whether you specialise in fine furniture, vintage homeware, jewellery, or collectibles, we provide a beautiful setting where your pieces can be discovered by customers who appreciate craftsmanship, history, and character.
Floor Spaces and Glass Showcases
We offer two main ways to sell with us:
- Floor Spaces — price dependant on size and location within the emporium.
- Glass Showcases — perfect for jewellery, curios, or smaller antiques that benefit from secure, elegant presentation.
All selling spaces are rented on a rolling monthly basis, giving you flexibility and ease as your business grows.
Commission and Optional Artwork
A 6% commission applies to all items sold through Bankside Emporium, whether displayed in a floor space or glass cabinet.
We may also offer wall space for artwork and framed pieces free of charge, with a slightly higher commission rate applied to sales.
Security and Care
Your items’ safety is a top priority. Our building is protected by high-level security cameras — the same systems used in the Tate Modern — ensuring constant surveillance and peace of mind.
While the space is secure, dealers remain responsible for their own stock, including:
- Updating displays regularly,
- Maintaining accurate pricing, and
- Entering product information into our shared database.
We encourage an active, evolving shop floor that feels fresh and engaging for customers every time they visit.
