Decorative ornaments are the perfect way to add personality and character to a corner of her home. They make great curios to adorn a mantlepiece, display cabinet or shelf, and each have their very own story to tell!
Does she love gardening or does she have a fondness for indoor plants and flowers? These gorgeous planters can accommodate most house plants, and help create the outside-in look. The vintage vases add a touch of elegance and are quite different to what you may find in larger retail stores.
Vintage tea or coffee sets are so unique and rarely come as a complete set. We were lucky to find these two sets with all their components.
Cups & saucers and retro glasses are a lovely addition to a vintage kitchen décor, and these add a lovely pop of colour.
Who doesn’t love a vintage throw? We recently found this stunning hand done cut work throw (right), which is beautifully made. We also found lovely embroidered cushions (second row) – so fun and unique!
Apprentice furniture makers and designers would create miniature pieces – such as the chest of drawers below – before building the full-scale piece. These small units make lovely jewellery boxes.
Decorative trinket dishes – or even small cheese strainers – can also be repurposed as a space for jewellery…!
Simple yet characterful antique table lamps are eye-pleasing while also being practical. They provide soft light and add warmth and cosiness. All our lights have been re-wired to British Safety Standards by a certified electrician.
On our latest buying trip, we found multiple antique photo frames all in great condition – including an identical pair, which are usually very hard to find! Add a family photo and you’ll have a personalised Mother’s Day present!
If the person you’re gifting to appreciates art, art accessories or vintage posters, we have a variety of options, from landscape paintings and advertising posters to carved wood panels.
If you want to go all out, or you’re gifting as a group (i.e. you have a slightly larger budget), why not go for something totally unique, such as a genuine Parisian-made mannequin, a mid-19th century ebonised magazine rack (super practical!) or even elegant Art Nouveau perfume bottles. Yes, they’re a little pricier but they definitely deliver the ‘wow’ effect!
As our way of celebrating all the mums out there, we're giving an exclusive 10% discount on all above items until 4:00pm Saturday 18th March 2023. If an item has caught your eye, click here to enquire.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Mother's Day!
