About Our Pieces
Are your pieces genuine vintage?
Yes — every piece we sell is an original vintage item, typically dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. We do not sell reproductions. Where a maker or designer can be confidently attributed, we say so; where a piece is unattributed, we'll tell you that too.
What condition are the pieces in?
All pieces are described honestly and in full. As with all vintage furniture, minor signs of age and use may be present — we consider this part of the authentic charm. Any significant marks, repairs, or wear are clearly noted in the product description and photographed.
Have the pieces been restored?
Restoration varies by piece and is always detailed in the product listing. Some items are sold as found; others have been cleaned, treated, or re-upholstered. We never over-restore — our aim is to preserve the character of the original.
Are dimensions accurate?
Yes — all dimensions listed are hand-measured and given in centimetres (H × W × D). If you need an additional measurement not listed, just ask.
Buying & Payment
How do I purchase a piece?
Simply add the item to your basket and check out securely through our online store. All pieces are one-of-a-kind, so once it's gone, it's gone — we'd recommend not waiting if something catches your eye.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay at checkout.
Can I reserve a piece?
We're unable to hold or reserve items without payment. If you're interested in a piece, purchasing is the only way to secure it.
Delivery & Collection
Do you offer delivery?
Yes — we offer delivery across the UK. Delivery costs and timescales are calculated at checkout based on your location and the size of the piece. Larger items may require a specialist courier; we'll always confirm arrangements before dispatch.
Is collection available?
Yes, local collection can be arranged. Please get in touch before purchasing so we can confirm availability and agree a suitable time.
How is furniture packaged for delivery?
All pieces are carefully wrapped and protected for transit. We take great care to ensure your furniture arrives safely — if you have any concerns on delivery, please photograph the packaging before opening and contact us immediately.
Returns & Aftercare
What is your returns policy?
We want you to be delighted with your purchase. If for any reason you're not satisfied, please contact us within 14 days of delivery and we'll do our best to resolve the situation. Please note that as all items are vintage and one-of-a-kind, we ask that you read descriptions carefully before purchasing.
How do I care for teak furniture?
Teak is a naturally durable and oily hardwood. To keep it looking its best, dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality teak oil or furniture wax once or twice a year. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or near heat sources for prolonged periods.
