Viewings by appointment in North East England, delivery nationwide
To arrange a viewing, ask a question or begin an acquisition, send us a note below. For higher value pieces we handle the sale personally rather than through a checkout.
This bench is recorded as coming from Chicago Airport, and it is untouched. Public seating is built to be sat on all day by people who are not being careful with it, which is why benches like this survive when domestic furniture does not. Four seats and a table, in polished aluminium and steel.
A four seat bench with a table asks for a long wall: a hallway, a boot room, a studio, a shop floor. It is one piece of furniture doing the work of several, and it was made for heavy use. Measurements are confirmed before delivery is booked, because access matters on a piece this long.
Untouched, original.
Recorded as coming from Chicago Airport.
Sourced for the collection; the provenance file is being prepared.
Untouched and original, with no later work carried out.
We deliver nationwide with a specialist furniture courier, blanket wrapped, carried in and placed in the room you choose. Within North East England we deliver ourselves, usually inside the week, and collection is welcome by arrangement.
If a piece arrives and does not suit the room, tell us within fourteen days. We will arrange collection and refund what you paid. All we ask is that the piece comes back in the condition it arrived.
Vintage furniture is straightforward to live with. Keep pieces out of direct sun and away from radiators, wipe with a barely damp cloth, and wax timber once a year. Every piece comes with care notes written for its own materials.
The collection is kept in North East England and viewings are by appointment, most days including weekends. Bring the room's measurements and take your time with the piece.
It is a four seat bench, so access is the first thing to check. Send measurements or a photograph of the doorway, hallway or stairs with your enquiry, and we will confirm the bench against them before anything is booked.
It is recorded as coming from Chicago Airport, and it is untouched and original. Beyond that the file is thin, and we would rather say so than fill it in. Anything further we learn is written into the provenance file that goes with it.
Every piece is one of one, so there is no basket. Send an enquiry and we will reply the same day where we can, usually with more photographs and the condition report. When you are ready, payment is by bank transfer and we arrange delivery.
Yes, for forty eight hours while you measure the room. Beyond that we take a small refundable deposit and mark the piece reserved until you decide.

Ready for daily use unless the listing says otherwise. Every piece is checked before it is listed, photographed honestly with any wear shown, and sold with a written condition report. Anything repaired or replaced is stated plainly on the piece's page.
We do. If you have a piece by one of the designers of the last century, or think you might, send photographs through the selling page and we will come back with a view and, where it suits the collection, an offer.
The chair arrived exactly as described, and better than the photographs, which were the reason I rang. The paperwork that came with it answered every question I had.
They talked me out of the piece I wanted and into the piece the room needed. Right on both counts.
Solid, clean and honestly described. The condition report matched the piece down to the small marks it listed.
The concept of this chair was conceived in the United States by the designers Charles and Ray Eames and then manufactured in Germany, Switzerland and the USA. This version created by Modernica for Eames in Los Angeles, USA.
This Panton chair was manufactured by Verner Panton for Herman Miller in 1971 and is made of S-shaped plastic. Panton designed the first ever chair consisting of a single element, formed from plastic, available in different colours. The S chair became Panton's best-known and most widely produced design.
