Fashion had lost its fun and creativity for me and furniture &#8211; which I have always loved &#8211; was new and exciting. Fashion, furniture, design and art all encom<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pass each other and when you have an eye, you have an eye for it all I think. It was great timing as I wanted a new career&#8230; Sam came along and said, \u2018I sell antiques. Want to make a brand\/business?\u2019 and I just jumped. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Favourite piece you\u2019ve ever sourced?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I loved finding a pair of Morris &amp; Co Sussex chairs as they were hidden and tucked away. Also the timing was great as we had just been to his museum in Walthamstow the weekend before, so it all felt very meant to be. Sam\u2019s piece is a 1960\u2019s foosball table that came in just before the World Cup so the games at our house were made even more fun! <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Describe your own home in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eclectic, characterful, cosy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-83465 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/coffee.jpg\" alt=\"coffee\" width=\"361\" height=\"360\" \/>You have friends visiting.

For me it is the same but with the addition that the quality of the furniture is so much better and it is environmentally friendly. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Any great tales behind the pieces you collect?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year we brought a beautiful desk and when cleaning it Sam found a folder that had slipped behind the drawers. It contained a note which said that the desk belonged to and had been designed by G. C Grindley, who was a well known psychologist. It was exciting to find that and then research the guy. The provenance made a great desk even more special. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>If your home was ablaze, what would you run back to save?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sam would most certainly have my arms full with the stool, plus many swords and knives (he collects antique weapons) and a few other antique trinket boxes he\u2019s had for a long time.
