About us
Welcome to Antique Asylum, home to a lovingly curated collection of vintage travel ephemera, brochures, and antique treasures.
This shop is inspired by my remarkable grandmother — an air hostess in the 1940s and ’50s, who travelled the world collecting souvenirs and mementos from every stop. During her time in the skies, she met and married her pilot — and together, they began a lifetime of collecting unique and beautiful finds from across the globe.
She later became a passionate antiques dealer, running her business well into her 90s. Now, I’m sharing her incredible collection to help fund a new roof and lovingly restore the family home that holds so many memories 🏡.
Each item in this shop is a piece of that story — filled with nostalgia, history, and heart.
✨ New pieces listed daily
📮 UK & international shipping available
💌 Combined postage always offered — just ask!
