Shackleton Fox is an award-winning, husband-and-wife antiques business specialising in antique lighting, decorative antiques and bespoke sourcing for private collectors, interior designers, country houses and commercial interiors across the UK and worldwide. Founded by Jackie and Jonathan Shackleton-Fox, our business is built on a lifelong passion for heritage, craftsmanship and the belief that exceptional antiques deserve to be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come. Jackie's journey into antiques began in childhood, learning the trade alongside her father. Her passion for historic buildings continued throughout a successful career with the National Trust, where she worked as a National Contracts Manager supporting approximately 130 historic properties across England. Working alongside building surveyors, curators, collections managers and conservation specialists provided a unique insight into Britain's finest country houses, their collections and the importance of preserving our decorative heritage. Jonathan brings over 25 years of commercial and financial experience, combined with a meticulous eye for detail and a passion for restoration. Together, we have combined our complementary skills to create a business founded on trust, quality and personal service. Our appreciation for heritage extends beyond the business itself. Together, we lovingly restored our own eighteenth-century Grade II listed cottage, undertaking much of the work ourselves, including traditional lime mortar repairs, sympathetic restoration and the careful preservation of its original character. That experience continues to shape our philosophy today. What We Do
