Where tradition meets vogue

Living

The conscious interior

Antiques create layered interiors. Interiors with soul, personality, and depth. But as more and more people are beginning to realise, they are also the eco-friendly choice. 

Garden & Conservatory

French bistro chic

You'll find me on the terrace of my favourite French bistro. I'll be perched on a folding chair, watching the world go by and sipping an espresso. Care to join? Bring the look to you with marble-topped tables, bistro chairs, signage and other traditional French antiques. 

Your garden room oasis

The room outside...

If lockdowns have taught us anything, it is the value of our outdoor space. Garden rooms of all shapes, sizes, and uses are springing up everywhere. Providing solace and space for creativity and inspiration, garden rooms are unsurprisingly the watchword of the moment. 

Sinuous curves

Celebrating the rococo style...

The rococo style embodies elegance and grace with its gentle curves and natural ornament. It rose to prominence during the 18th Century, but its appeal remains strong today.

Kitchens with soul

Bold kitchen design

Your kitchen doesn't have to be ruled by its utilitarian purpose. Look to antique and vintage pieces to inject colour and personality back into your kitchen. 

Science meets art

Discovering antique nature prints

Centuries of scientific discovery, alongside developments in printmaking, created stunning illustrations. These depictions of the natural world are not only fascinating but also wonderfully decorative. 

Life well lived

Channel the English country house style

The English country house style has been a powerful design force since its conception in the 1920s. Rely on classic antique furniture and upholstered pieces to provide the pones, before layering your favourite art, collectables, and textiles on top.

Visions of Arcadia

Transformative garden antiques...

Garden antiques are the simplest way to bring splendour to your garden. Beautifully weathered statuary and planters will make a space feel more established and mature. 

Truth to Materials

Delve into Arts & Crafts...

The industrial revolution left production devoid of human touch. The Arts & Crafts movement restored the dignity of the craftsman, and brought the decorative arts back into the present. 

Under Lock and Key

Exploring the dowry chest...

Lift the lid on the fascinating history of betrothal and marriage. The give and take of romance in centuries gone by is best explored through beautiful antique dowry chests.
