ABOUT

We are a mother-and-son partnership curating an ever-changing collection of antiques, art and 20th century design. We buy what we love, irrespective of era, style or maker. The result is a collection that is wide ranging, yet held by a clear line of thoughtful design, considered craftsmanship and rarity.

Selling to private clients, interior designers, and dealers worldwide, we operate from our Oxfordshire showroom located just outside the historic market-town of Thame, in Milton Common. We welcome visitors 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, or by appointment. 

Our website has regular new stock, yet there’s always more in the wings. If you’re looking for something in particular but can’t see it online, let us know. We’ll send you some suggestions from stock not yet on show.

For more information on any of our stock, do get in touch and we will help with any questions.
