Jonathan Swanston Biography – Jonathan Swanston Wiki
Jon Swanston, born Jonathan Swanston, is a British antiques dealer and expert on The Bidding Room and The Vintage French Farmhouse. He is the co-founder of Kestrel Antiques, an antiques business that he runs between Sheffield and London with his good friend Sophie.
“I’m one half of Kestrel Antiques, alongside my pal Sophie who lives in London. Together we started Kestrel Antiques out of a love for vintage, decorative antiques, kitchenalia, artwork, glassware, books, pottery, curiosities and the list goes on and on,” he said in an interview with Billy Tannery. “We try to source individual pieces to bring into the home as well as classic, mid-century and postmodern as we believe the modern home can now be a much more eclectic and multi-sensory place than previously thought upon.”
He added: “I enjoy geeking out over the history of interiors and design, as it’s a truly fascinating subject on how the evolution of how things are made and received have changed so much over the years.”
Jon lived in Sheffield for two years when he was 18 studying architecture but gave that up to live in London to pursue a degree in art and fashion. He moved back up in 2018 with his partner and their then-2-year-old daughter.
