Antique Stockman Mannequins


One of our first arrivals of the New Year! We have just taken delivery of a collection of genuine vintage and antique Stockman mannequins. The pictures show some of the great detailing. We like these 3 in particular not only because of their age and delicate appearance but also because they have all of their beautifully turned and engineered original stand fittings entact.

Click on the pictures below to go through to our website for more information and other models.

What our customers say..

We wanted to share some positive feedback from some of our recent customers.  Many of our customers buy on-line from us and we arrange their transportation and shipping all over the world...and more locally.

"...our action 'moving the big armoire' is done! We got everything! Thank you very much!"

Jana purchased an antique Qing Dynasty Armoire. ( We still have one left if it catches anyone's eye!)




"I´m glad to say that the cabinet is already at home and I´m very happy. It was all an adventure with the English driver, a very kind man, but it was all fine. Thank you very much for everything. We might contact you again in the future"

Stephanie snapped up the Kodak Slide-viewer featured in our recent newsletter leaving many people disappointed - it was a great piece. Congratulations Stephanie!




"It worked! Got the T-spanner (in fact, me and my mates have loads of them, just did not know a 5 sided tool would work too) and opened the explosion lamp, fitted a bulb and hung it over my desk in my office! Fantastic!!! I love it!’

Diederick brought an explosion lamp from us in our store on impulse just before flying home. We were able to help him with a few fitting issues and luckily he didn't regret his purchase! During our email exchanges we now realise that Diederick is an internationally reknowned recycling artist - you can see Diederick's recycled artwork here.

British Design Awards 2011 - Best Product Design.


Congratulations and very well done to Rupert Blanchard - pictured above with his cat! - for scooping 'Best Product Design' in the prestigious British Design Awards 2011.

We have been backing, promoting and selling his upcycled drawer cabinets for a number of years now and we are very pleased that this popular and thoughtful product has now been more widely recognized.

A very big thankyou to everyone who voted and congratulations to everyone who has already purchased one of these award-winning cabinets from us. We currently have some pieces in stock - which are available to purchase securely online or can be seen on display at our Spitalfields store. Click on the images below for more details.

Luggage Racks


As a general rule we usually love to restore the things that we find. For instance these aluminium luggage racks look fantastic when they have been mirror polished. However we realise that this look is not for eveyone.

We have such a huge stock of these salvaged luggage racks that we are releasing part of the run in the original salvaged condition. As you can see from some of the pictures here they are still extremely charming in this condition with interesting textures and colours.

The other bonus is that the polishing is a skillful and time-consuming process. Buying a luggage rack that has not been mirror polished also makes it considerably cheaper!

Please click on the images below to take a closer look at the polished or unpolished luggage racks on our website. Or you are very welcome to pop in to see them at our Spitalfields store. We are open Tuesday-Sunday 9am-6pm.
