Thanks to COVID-19, it’s been a very, very long time since we’ve added any items to our webshop. We’ve just started venturing out again on stock buying trips and will be listing fresh vintage homeware items all this week.
Here are a few of the vintage things that went live today – simply click on each image to be taken to the item listing.

It’s been a long time since we added any new vintage items to our web shop. It’s something that we just couldn’t find enough time for since moving house about 6 months ago. Physically transporting everything, doing up the house and generally settling into our new area has left little or no time for photographing and processing new items for the web shop.
We’ve remained active on the blog and antiques centre front, but internet stock takes much more time – photographing, listing, storing, shipping and so on. So… it had to go on the back burner for a little while, despite having lots of lovely stuff that we were desperate to get on view!
However, we’ve got back into the swing of things by listing over 60 items this week. Here are a few examples of recently listed stock. And there’ll be more to follow in the coming days – so watch this space!

It’s been a while since we did one of our Forthcoming Attractions posts. We did actually hold back from buying new stock for a while during the deepest winter months. However, spring has now sprung, so we’re getting back out on the vintage trail. Here’s a small selection of our recent finds.
This pair of 1950s/60s plates have illustrations featuring a couple at leisure – playing music together in one, and fishing in another. They’re very sweet, whimsical & charming – and the work of a designer whose name is new to us – one, Arvid Reikvam. We’ll certainly have to investigate him further. The plates were produced by a very familiar company however – Stavangerflint of Norway.
On to another well-known maker of vintage Scandinavian pottery – indeed, another Norwegian factory, Egersund. We love this simple, stylised flower design. We have a few pieces dotted around our own house. This handled dish has a multitude of possible uses – or it could just sit on a shelf looking pretty!
Next up is a bit of vintage lighting, something we’re always keen to get hold of – good looking and useful. This flexi-neck desk lamp has a real space age style. We like the shade detailing too, three narrow slots allowing shafts of light upwards in addition to the main downward directional task light.
We couldn’t resist these vintage metal locker numbers. We loved the bold orange colour and fabulous aged patina. Someone out there must have the perfect use for them!
Last, but certainly not least, we have a large quantity of 1960s Mills Moore cutlery. This beautifully designed range is made from stainless steel with walnut handles. We get many requests for this cutlery so we’re sure that there’ll be some interested parties amongst our readers. We actually have six of each of all the knives, forks and spoons shown above.
All items will be heading to our web shop soon. However, if your particularly keen on anything, please feel free to drop us a line.
Here’s our pick of the items soon to be available here at H is for Home. Autumn has arrived, so horticulture isn’t at the top of many people’s lists, but there’s still plenty to do in the garden at this time of year – and there’s also planning for next spring to consider.
This old wooden box for seeds, twine and tools is perfect for keeping gardening things organised. It has a pull-out drawer and lift-up lid with shelved interior, providing lots of storage space… and it looks gorgeous too!
And, speaking of gorgeous – what about this lovely lady? An original, vintage framed & glazed print of Balinese Girl by Vladimir Tretchikoff. She’s so striking – and one of our personal favourites from this series of works by the artist.
The vibrant colour continues with this huge West German floor vase dating from the 1960s/70s. We love the bold orange and thick, dripping glaze. You couldn’t fail to notice this fabulous piece of pottery in any home décor scheme!
Hailing from the same era we have the aluminium light shade. This looks amazing when hung – the bulb light piercing the faceted plastic sections, casting beautiful shadows on the ceiling and walls. Perfect for a mid century modern space, suspended from the ceiling… or perhaps positioned down low over a dining table.
All items are available to buy now.
