Whilst some people insist on the authenticity and history of the original, the aged look or indeed pre-owned isn’t everyone’s cup of tea either. Many people like new items for their home to actually be new and look absolutely pristine.

We’re big fans of vintage, but modern reproductions can also be the perfect solution in some situations too.
