Mark Alexander Pargeter
Director
Mark has a passion for furniture; his enthusiasm is infectious, as is his pursuit of knowledge.
He started his career as an apprentice restorer working for a variety of well-known workshops in the Cotswolds. The depth of knowledge and experience of furniture construction gained during this time was the perfect platform from which to move into the antique dealing world, which was always Mark’s true ambition.
A move that has proved remarkably successful for Alexander George Antiques as his dynamic approach and keen eye has resulted in them handling some of the finest pieces to come to market in recent years.
Add to this his warm and friendly personality and it is unsurprising to learn that he has earned the respect of his clients and peers alike, forging many friendships along the way.
