Decorative Antiques
We specialise in sourcing exceptional decorative antiques from across Europe, focusing on French, Swedish, and continental pieces. Our collection includes furniture, mirrors, and artworks dating from the 18th century to mid-20th century design. Each item undergoes careful authentication and conservation before reaching our showrooms in London and Rye.
Bespoke Upholstery
Our bespoke upholstery service creates made-to-measure stools and ottomans using traditional craftsmanship techniques. Frames are constructed from hardwood and stuffed with synthetic horsehair, with customer-selected fabrics and optional pinched edge detailing. These versatile pieces serve as hallway benches, living room seating, or bedroom accessories.
