The design landscape continues to embrace the allure of the second-hand, transforming it into a desirable lifestyle choice. We note a move towards incorporating natural wood elements, valued for their warmth, longevity, and organic character. This desire for authentic material is easily met, as our auctions consistently feature an array of wooden furniture and decorative objects from various periods. The variety of options available ensures that every discerning collector can find a piece that perfectly fits their aesthetic vision.

The need for pristine, catalogue-perfect furniture has ceded to an appreciation for character. In the 'lived-in' interior, minor abrasions, subtle patina, or slight colour fading do not detract; rather, they enrich the object's overall charm and appeal. The beauty of these pieces lies in their storied nature - each item is imbued with a unique provenance and slight oddities that only arise from the natural progression of time. Acquiring these pieces is an act of conscious consumption, ensuring their legacy continues in your home.
