Vintage
There is an excitement about rediscovering beautiful things from the past.
From reclaimed preserving jars and shelves to cupboards and benches mixing vintage with new creates and adds individuality to your home.
Antique Fabric Cushions
These wonderfully tactile flax linen cushions are made from reclaimed antique Hungarian flour and grain sacks dating from around 1920. Each piece has a unique character and quality with the stripe pattern used to indicate ownership. The seams of the sacks have been incorporated into the design creating an interesting and unusual feature.
Create a wonderful eclectic look by mixing the stripes.
Vintage Leather Suitcases
Both these leather vintage suitcases have led full lives. There are signs of damage and wear and tear on both cases, yet they still have huge appeal and make for great storage.
The open suitcase pictured is believed to be lined with pigskin and has a series of internal pockets and straps. A striking feature is a silver hallmarked catch engraved with 'Makers to the Royal Family, Drew & Sons, Picadilly Circus W'.
The intials C.A.C. appear on the top of the case. There are metal closures and reinforced leather corners.
Size: 67cm x 41cm x 22cm
The slightly larger case, also with reinforced corners and brass closures is lined with khaki canvas and has leather strapping and a large pocket on the underside of the lid. Please click on the image for a detailed picture.
Size: 76cm x 48cm x 24cm
Please contact me if you would like further details or images prior to purchase.
Vintage Belgian Ladder
A rather unusual and beautiful vintage ladder, sourced from Belgium. Having been discovered with layers of grime, and the expected knocks and scrapes, it has been painstakingly sanded to reveal the beautiful grain of 2 types of wood.
A striking piece of furniture for any room and a perfect vehicle for display. Lean easily against a wall, hang horizontally from the ceiling or display in the garden...endless possibilities!
Vintage Folding Benches
These German benches are the perfect size for an al fresco morning coffee and can be folded for easy storage. They have been restored but the original folding mechanism will show signs of wear for that lovely vintage look.
They are perfect for moving around the garden where extra seating is needed.
With the slatted seating they make a very pretty, unusual alternative bench for a hallway, kitchen or bedroom.
Designs can vary slightly between each bench.
Available in Wimborne White or Oval Room Blue.
Please contact me for further details or to reserve a bench as due to high demand stock is now very limited.

Vintage Flag Cushion
Handmade from a piece of vintage "British Made" French flag fabric which was allegedly used as a prop in the filming of 'Foyle's War'.
Backed with vintage hessian Belgian bread sacking and finished with vintage metal buttons to create a truly unique cushion.
Vintage Table & 4 Chairs
It is becoming harder to find original cafe style furniture, these have been sourced from Belgium and are gently worn & weathered. The sets include an original table and four renovated chairs (re-slatted with original metal mechanisms). Repainted in Farrow & Ball, Wimborne White.
Why not use throughout the year, dot around the house where a pretty chair is needed to create a light and relaxed feel. Mix with textured vintage cushions for that informal 'bringing the outdoors in' style.
The table and chairs are strong and practical and each piece will fold away for easy storage.
Vintage Hungarian Wheelbarrow
A very characterful vintage Hungarian wheelbarrow. It maintains it's original paintwork in a deep red colour with yellow metal edging and strapping.
Ready to create a perfect focal point in your garden. Lovely for displaying seasonal flowers and can be wheeled around to different locations.
Please call or email for further details prior to purchase.
Vintage Tea Tins
Perfect for your vintage collection and great to store your bits and pieces.
These fabulous original 50’s tea tins were used for tea samples from North India, Malawi & Bangladesh to sell tea to one of the major blenders. A small amount was retained for a year in case of any quality claim by a buyer. After the year had elapsed and the new season begun, the old samples would be tipped out and given or sold to staff.
