"Furniture is a passion for me as I love the feel and look of different woods and the appeal of layers of old timeworn paint and the functionality and patina of metal pieces. We have two local furniture restorers, who make bespoke and up-cycled furniture for the shop, including our fabulous 2 metre high Eiffel tower which sits proudly in the middle of the store waiting to grace a garden or courtyard with rustic French charm."
All of our furniture is carefully sourced and sympathetically restored. Original features are lovingly preserved and ready to use and treasure for many years to come. We are very keen to offer objects that are both useful as well as beautiful to look at. Visit us soon and soak up the atmosphere of this unique shop and find your own vintage etc,,, treasure.
