It's not difficult to live in Palmers Green while remaining unaware of the existence of one of its most interesting and unusual businesses, but this week a feature in a London-wide online news website has drawn the curtain aside and revealed some fascinating facts about the antiques dealer that is hidden away behind 90 Aldermans Hill.
Rag & Bone Bros - dealers in "antiques, vintage, curiosities and oddities" - is located in a back alley and accessed from Lakeside Road. It was set up around eight years ago by brothers Serkan and Cuneyt Yumakci and is the subject of an article by journalist Ertan Karpazli on the My London website, with plenty of interesting information about how the brothers find the items they restore and sell, the adventures they encounter while on the road and the TV programmes they feature in.
