In 1998 after spending many years working for large home retailers in the UK (Habitat/The Conran Shop) we decided we wanted to start our own business. Even back then we always had a passion for mixing vintage with modern. Or old & new, as we called it then! Since Day one, we have sourced and restored/refinished all the vintage and antique furniture that we sell, ourselves. In November 1999, after a year or so of searching for the right location, we settled in Hampton Hill, South West London, near Hampton Court. We took the plunge and opened our first shop. One of the best things about what we do, is that we are lucky enough to travel regularly to fantastic cities such as Paris & New York (as well as London and Birmingham!) when we are buying. There's a lot of great merchandise out there; when we buy, we cherry-pick & source every product to fit into collections. The end result is constantly evolving stock, guaranteeing each visit will mean a new discovery.
