Things that are coming in to our workshop
I am waiting to pick up a few lovely old George III oak long case clocks. I don’t know what condition they are in, but as I have just sold one, this time around I will refurbish them in different colours. Also in our workshop we have very unusual items which originate from India. For more information on these items call us or email us. We also have a superb quality wooden Torchère Statue stand plus a late 1930s small Ottoman which will be refurbished in a beautiful blue material. The next thing in is a Beautiful Victorian Solid oak twin pedestal roll top desk late 1900s-20th century. This will be a lovely piece to work on.

Vintage Style Furniture
Vintage (from the English Dictionary)
”old
– fashioned obsolete”
” being the best of its kind; choice
”of, imitating,or being a style or fashion of the past; retro: vintage
”representing the high quality of a past time; classic”
”being of a specified vintage”
”the output of a particular time; a collection of things manufactured or in use at the same time”
at used-bespoke Shabby Chic and Vintage Furniture, we seek out vintage style furniture from as far back as the Victorian and Edwardian periods, through to retro and more recent furniture.Antique furniture is furniture that is older than 100 years and described based on unique features, collectability or rarity.Certain types of antique furniture are often used to create a style within the home,creating a vintage theme based on a specific period.
Retro furniture is referred to as culturally outdated or an aged style which would have once been ‘on-trend or’ in fashion’ and has since become the norm once again.It generally implies a vintage of at least fifteen or twenty years.For example ,furniture from the 1980s or 1990s could be retro.Vintage furniture is furniture 30 to 100 years old and refers to furniture that best represents the prevalent style of a period.Being old will not make it vintage, even though most people use the term old and vintage interchangeably.
Vintage furniture is extremely popular as it gives you the chance to decorate in your own unique style and it’s less expensive that buying new furniture of the same quality. It is also one of the most eco friendly ways of furnishing your home.
