Quintessence is a retail gift business, trading since 2001. The business was originally a high-street concern, trading in Wellington Way, Waterlooville, Hampshire, owned and operated by the husband and wife partnership, Peter and Jenny Gorman. An on-line offshoot was opened in 2010. For some time we couldn't develop this aspect to its full potential because our primary focus always had to be on the bricks-and-mortar store. However, in mid-2011, we took the decision to concentrate our efforts into the on-line aspects of the business and so, in February 2012, we closed down the high-street shop.
Our range is international - we specialise in Steiff bears from Germany, Willow Tree collectibles from USA and De Rosa ceramics from Uruguay. We offer the best prices, reliable service and fast delivery. Please check our store before buying elsewhere.
