What's in store(age)?

We've got an array of splendid, stylish storage solutions currently in stock, ranging from vintage American, multi-drawer filing cabinets to simple, stackable tin trunks.

Vintage office furniture can be an original and quirky way to store your books, shoes and boring old bank statements in rather more style than a well-known Swedish retailer would lead you to believe. Glazed bookcases work beautifully as shoe display units, giving those investment buys a worthy, yet practical, home. The deep drawers of vintage wooden filing cabinets can conceal bulky blankets, rugs or woollens.

If you need to sort out your socks from your ties, perhaps try applying a bit of 19th century logic. One of our recent restoration projects is this elegant gentleman's collectors cabinet.

The mahogany cabinet has bracket feet and six graduated drawers, each with a mahogany bead frame.

A place for everything and everything in its place...

A touch of the Gothic

In The Beginning, there was Glaswegian Goodies...

These beautiful wrought iron standard lamps are now fully restored, rewired and ready for sale! The black one was part of our Glaswegian haul back in April. A stunning example of the blacksmith's craft, it features unfurling scrolls with trailing leaves and rosebuds, all in worked iron.

Dating from the 1890's, they originally started life as bases for oil lamps, but lost their way for a while when some new-fangled thing called 'electricity' caught on. Now we've given them a new (and frankly, more stylish) lease of life by adapting them for modern use.


They join this exceedingly elegant ceiling lantern - it's been reglazed, restored and rewired ready to make a splendid centrepiece for any room.

Shame Tim Burton's not on our (e)mailing list - we're sure he and Helena would be lusting after this lot for their sitting room...
