My Story

After deciding on antiques as a career at a young age I embarked on the antiques course at Southampton Institute which led to a Saturday job in my final year at the Furniture Cave on King's road Chelsea.  During my formative years at the shop I developed a keen interest in the door fittings department supplied by David Kenrick whose family owned the famous Kenrick brass foundry in West Bromwich Birmingham.  After a decade of being involved in the day to day running of the shop and slowly building my own stock I set up on my own.  After a short while trading at the Old Cinema in Chiswick I moved back to my own retail space in the Furniture Cave.  I have built up a business supplying interior designers and private clients across the United Kingdom and the world with period fittings.

I am now based in the Lake District trading here online and also through retail space in London.  You will find here online for sale an extensive selection of classic period brass door furniture, lighting and fireplace accessories from the late Eighteenth Century through to the mid 20th Century.  This includes brass door knockers, door handles, letter boxes, door pulls, coat hooks, lamps, lights, spark guards, fenders, fire dogs, fire irons, curtain tie backs and objet d'art.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is a special piece you are looking for or if you would like to join the mailing list.​​
