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.

Unusual early 20th Century small wooden shop display cabinet featuring a charming and practical design. The piece has a sloping glazed front door, in closing display compartment backed with original velvet fabric.
Front of the cabinet was originally used to showcase small goods such as haberdashery items, stationery, or confectionery, allowing customers to view the contents while keeping them protected.
The back of the cabinet is fitted with six neatly arranged drawers, each with a small turned wooden knob, providing storage for stock or refills of the items on display. Crafted from a warm toned hardwood, likely mahogany. The cabinet retains its original worn patina, showing attractive age related wear that enhances its authentic character.
This small, versatile counter top display would have been used in a general store or apothecary setting, combining elegant craftsmanship with functional design. Today, it makes a wonderful decorative storage piece or collector’s cabinet, full of antique charm and history.
Cabinet is in used condition, showing imperfections with wear and tear. Front lining is showing heavy staining.
In sides of drawers are missing its original fabric lining and would benefit from a gentle clean.
