Based in the beautiful county of Sussex, England, we offer a curated collection of antiques and decorative pieces that blend timeless craftsmanship with modern style.
What began over twenty years ago as a passion for collecting objects rich in history and character has grown into a refined selection of pieces chosen for their quality, beauty, individuality and yes a bit of quirkiness. Each item tells its own story, from elegant furnishings and original artworks to unique curios that add depth and distinction to contemporary interiors.
We believe true luxury lies in authenticity and craftsmanship. Every piece in the collection is thoughtfully sourced to bring heritage, artistry, and a sense of understated sophistication into today’s living spaces.

Description
Antique Gothic Revival Oak Book Trough
Step back in time with this charming antique book trough, a stunning example of Gothic Revival craftsmanship, likely dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian era (c. 1880-1910).
Hand crafted from solid oak, the piece features a deeply satisfying, warm patina developed over more than a century. The design is highly architectural, highlighted by the two elegant uprights, hand carved into distinct lancet arch or spire-like finials. This ecclesiastical style instantly adds depth and character to its surroundings.
The sturdy, moulded base provides stability, making it perfect for holding a selection of your favorite volumes, devotional books, or even organising stationery on a study desk or library table. Its quality construction and rich grain promise many more years of beautiful use.
In good condition, showing signs of light wear and tear with imperfections.
Book Trough is 63cm at its longest point, 18.5cm at its deepest and 26.5cm at its height point.
Shelf space is approx: 57cm long
