Delivery & Collection
Delivery & Collection
Most mainland UK locations are covered by our standard £65 furniture delivery service, with a reduced local delivery rate of £30 available within 15 miles of Bourne End SL8.
Some remote or harder-to-reach areas may require a different delivery charge, so please check our Delivery Information page before ordering or contact us if unsure.
Furniture deliveries are carried out by one-man couriers, so assistance will usually be required to help unload the item at delivery. Delivery is generally to the door, although some drivers may assist further at their own discretion.
We aim to deliver most furniture items within 10 working days, depending on location and courier routes.
Collection is also welcome from our Bourne End showroom:

A More Sustainable Choice
A More Sustainable Choice
Choosing antique and reclaimed furniture is one of the most sustainable ways to furnish a home.
Older furniture was often built using solid timber and traditional craftsmanship designed to last for generations, rather than a few years.
By giving these pieces a new home, you help reduce demand for mass-produced furniture while keeping beautiful, characterful items in circulation for years to come.

A characterful antique oak captain’s chair, inspired by classic Georgian and Windsor designs, with beautifully turned spindle supports and generous shaped arms.
This is a wonderfully honest country house piece, full of age and warmth. The chair features a shaped top rail, turned baluster spindles, solid oak seat with excellent grain, and sturdy turned legs united by stretchers. The proportions make it particularly versatile — ideal as a desk chair, hall chair, occasional chair or study armchair.
The wide arms and deep seat give it a very comfortable, relaxed feel, while the solid oak construction ensures it remains sturdy and practical for everyday use.
Condition
Good antique condition with plenty of age-related character. The seat shows historic shrinkage splits and old repairs (as photographed), all stable and in keeping with its age. Surface wear, marks and patina throughout add to its authenticity and charm. Structurally solid and ready for use.
