Jubilant Times

The build-up to a summer of Great Britishness has begun! Britannia has decked out the place in her finest Union Flag bunting, has stacked her shops' shelves with all manner of quality merchandise, and is ready for the world to come over for some tea and cake.

The first major event is of course the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations (although for some, the extra bank holiday will be the real cause for celebration).

We've got our china cabinet full of original Elizabeth II coronation mugs, as well as a few Silver Jubilee ones.

For those with rather grander ambitions (and wall space) this fab vintage flag is the way to celebrate in style.

London is leading the way with the Jubilee celebrations. We have got some more of our London cushions in stock to help bring a bit of Capital Style to your living room.

Whether you're celebrating our monarch's reign, or just happy to have an extra day off to escape to sunnier climes, enjoy!

 

Best of British

With the World Cup just round the corner, it's time to get patriotic...

Amongst the glut of Union Flag cushions, tea towels, rugs and tea cosies that are currently flooding the shop shelves, what about hanging a REAL Union Flag on your wall?


We have a marvellous stash of original Coronation flags printed on cotton and linen, which we've mounted onto canvas and had professionally framed so that they can be seen and appreciated in their full splendour. As the name suggests (!), these were usually produced as part of the celebrations for royal festivities. These ones date from the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, through to that of our present Queen, Elizabeth II, in 1953.

Why settle for 'Union-Flag-inspired' when you can have the Real McCoy? There's even the odd bit of discolouration and/or authentic rip to add to the charm and authenticity of these 'Genuine Articles'.

They work brilliantly as birthday or wedding presents - prices start at £35.00 and go up to £350, depending on the size and age of the flag. The smallest framed size available is 12" x 18" (30.5cm x 45.7cm) whilst the largest we currently have in stock is 36"x 48" (91.4cm x 121.9cm) - now THAT would be a true patriotic style statement!
