WE SELL THE THINGS WE LOVE AND LIVE WITH OURSELVES

Our oak and country furniture is amongst the best to be found anywhere, and is bought by private customers and collectors, designers and decorators. It is selected for style and strength of design, for originality, plus a special quality that raises it above the ordinary.

Our pieces have all the individual charm of country-made things, often with a strong sculptural quality. They are mainly English and Welsh, 18th century and earlier, and reflect a love of native British woods - oak, elm, ash, walnut and fruitwood - and of wonderful colour and patination.

We also sell a wide range of attractive and unusual decorative objects and works of art of excellent quality, including English delftware, textiles, samplers, metalwork, objects in wood and items of folk art.



OUR PHILOSOPHY

Quality, originality and style, backed by knowledge, experience and an original eye, and a love for what we sell.



THE LOOK

The look could be described as smart English Country with an American Colonial accent. It is a look that is relaxed and sophisticated, stylish and easy to live with.

Our pieces look good in town or in country, in complete period settings, or as elements or accents in contemporary spaces.



OUR SHOWROOMS

Our stock is on view in the atmospheric setting of our 18th century London town house, and in an adjacent garden room of modern design.

The 1776 house is located in one of London's hidden gems, a surprising enclave, rich in delightful Georgian and Regency architecture. We are in Central London, just outside the congestion charging zone, about 12 -15 minutes drive from Sloane Square (Chelsea) and the antiques hub of the Pimlico Road, with easy access and parking.
