About

Having traded for many years in the famous Portobello Market at the heart of the antiques community in the south of England, we now sell directly online through this website and at select antique fairs within the UK and Europe. Sourcing items takes us to interesting places, and travelling and experiencing foreign cultures directly is one of the benefits of the antique profession!

We seek to offer a good quality and varied assortment of high quality arms and armour & items from around the world. These weapons were highly valued by the original owners, and today are becoming more and more appreciated as a worthwhile investment for the collector and a vivid link back to the quality and craftsmanship these items often display. As well as practical items for warfare, weapons were as frequently, if not more so important as status symbols and as such are rich examples of the artwork and crafts of many of the cultures which are represented within the pages of this website.

We take great pride in selecting more unusual and interesting examples of each genre, and above all other things appreciate the trust and confidence that you place with us when you purchase from the site. We take the utmost importance in customer service and communication regarding our items, and returning customers are frequent and are most welcome. Please don't hesitate to contact us via the contact form, email info@ashokaarts.com, or by telephone on +44 07870 105285 (9-5 GMT business hours only please!).

Please enjoy browsing the website, comments are always welcome..!
