About Us

Welsh Rare Bits is the trading name of
Steven Welsh Ltd. Registered no. SC425355.

The family business started in 1945 as a second hand furniture business, by James Welsh. After many years it slowly evolved into antiques and passed to the next generation. It was during this time that the name changed to Welsh Rare Bits, a play on the words of our name and what we sold. We thought it was clever, but we do get a lot of people come in looking for coffee and toasted cheese.

The wheels of time continued to turn and we evolved to what we are today and into the ownership of the 3rd generation.

We moved to our current shop in Bearsden in 1982. Here we discovered that customers liked the quality of our goods but were not necessarily wanting antiques. We introduced new Royal Doulton, Moorcroft and Royal Crown Derby etc. The outcome of this is that a large percentage of the goods that we sell are new and of a similar high standard. We do still look out for interesting and unusual antiques.
