I currently have some very special stock. I was lucky to find some superb large antique armchairs and took the plunge to do something daring using fabric by Glasgow design studio Timorous Beasties. I chose Storm Blotch velvet to create a one-off chair that really has the wow factor. You won’t find another chair of this quality and craftmanship – marry that with hand made velvet and you have a statement piece that can’t be ignored.
Something you don’t see everyday is a reclaimed French Methodist Alter. This former alter would make a fantastic console/hall/lounge or serving table – it’s a lovely solid piece that would look wonderful with the right mirror above it.
I also have a few nice kitchen pieces in stock including a large welsh dresser and a Belgium Cheese dresser – both are available to view at Preston Antiques Centre 7 days a week
One of my favourite purchases has been a pair of inlaid Victorian smokers’ chairs – possibly Italian – their style and shape are extremely beautiful and elegant. The fabric was tired, so we refurbished and reupholstered using Fibre Naturelle velvet creating a pair of chairs that are hard to beat and even harder to find.
