About Us



We are a small family run business that has been dealing in fireplaces and architectural antiques for over 20 years. We take pride in sourcing, renovating and restoring to a very high standard and strive to co-ordinate items with a designer's eye, as we come from a design trained background.

We have a keen interest in the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements of the early 20th Century and travel extensively throughout the UK sourcing unusual and quality items. As we are also working with builders and interior designers to find specific pieces, if you cannot see exactly what you are looking for, we will try our utmost to find it for you.

We are conveniently based in the heart of Leicestershire in the picturesque village of Waltham on the Wolds on the A607 just on the outskirts of the market town of Melton Mowbray. We are only 20 minutes from the A1 and 30 minutes from J21A of the M1, with both the A46 and A52 also close by. Our workshops are open by appointment only and we will gladly accommodate a day and time to suit your needs.

We also have a display in St Martin's Antique Centre in the historic town of Stamford where a wide range of door furniture can be purchased along with fireplaces and other interesting items.

We deliver personally throughout the UK. Overseas buyers can feel confident, as we use the London shipper, Forship Ltd, who export for some of the top auction houses.

It is important to us to ensure customer satisfaction and we have many returning clients from all over the UK and also in the USA and Japan, some of whom have become firm friends.

This is not just a job to us - it is our passion!
