Everything Old is new again. Express yourself and your own unique sense of style by combining modern design with older pieces. Your new sofa can be transformed by an interesting side table. A conversation piece, it instantly introduces a different ethnicity giving a cultural richness not often found in mainstream showrooms.
Moroccan furniture is known for its interesting, geometric shapes that would complement any modern design- with the mother of pearl and silver inlay adds further interest to the piece.
A traditional rattan-top Chinese table made from elm-wood adds impact as it reflects the history of Asian craftsmanship.
While the classic lines and simple designs of a Danish teak buffet or Wegner armchair give a ‘retro-style feel’ when matched with a leather sofa, either with buttoned or top-stitched detail and a heavily textured rug.
Think: reduce, reuse, recycle
Budget and eco-friendly ‘going vintage’ also means getting great brands at a fraction of their original retail price and giving something old a new lease of life. While markets and your local charity store are bound to have some great choices, auctions are also a fantastic place to pick up art, antique furniture, jewellery, dinner service, bronze statues and other collectables. We recommend:
· Deutsche and Hackett
· Lawsons
· Vickers and Hoad Antiques
These are open to the public but you can also be placed on a mailing list that will notify you of up-coming auctions as they happen.
