Antique Painted Furniture

We’ve spent many years perfecting our spray lacquering technique, which we think is far superior to hand-painting as it offers a smoother and more consistent finish, and we’re sure you’ll agree the quality is superb.

We take great care to work sympathetically with the antique when restoring, this ensures that the finish we choose is in keeping with its age and character.

Shabby Chic

Like our antique painted furniture all our Shabby Chic pieces are restored then spray lacquered to ensure theres nothing shabby about our chic pieces.

A lot of our Shabby Chic pieces are French and we have authentic Chiffoniers, Armoires and bedside cabinets just waiting for someone to give them a new home.

Industrial Chic

If you simply must have the latest 'on trend' furniture then you probably already know that Industrial Chic is the hottest style at the moment.

Our Industrial Chic pieces are typically created from upcycled vintage items that have had a previous working life in offices, factories or even on ships.

A couple of prime examples of Industrial Chic are our filing cabinets and ships lanterns.

James White - Neutral. A discerning James whose name appears over and over again requesting this lightish broken off-white for use with Farrow & Ball colours.

Elephants Breath - Warm / Neutral. A personal match for this famously named colour by John Fowler. Use as a colour in its own right, or as part of a 'stone' scheme.

Strong White - Neutral. A bright, clean white when used with dark colours. Or if used with light colours it becomes cool.

Hardwick White - Neutral. The colourway used to touch up old white limewash at Hardwick Hall. Probably not thought of as white except in large areas or with strong dark colours.
