Parade Antiques and Collectables was founded in 1997, and has been trading on the Barbican, Plymouth's historical harbour and tourist center ever since. Our vast range of stock includes artwork, china, glass and ceramics, antique furniture, silver and jewellery, coins and medals, toys, advertising, railway and motoring, maritime, ethnic items, entertainment memorabilia, science fiction and much more. Given the historical importance of a lot of our items, the Market also doubles up as a 'Curios Museum'.
