Our Little Black Book Of The Best Places To Find Antique & Vintage Garden Furniture
Summer is coming! Well, we can hope. Here are our choices for the places to look for antique & vintage pieces to live in your garden.
Garden furniture gives me the heebie-jeebies. I am a big fan of comfort. Huge! But comfort and garden furniture always end up looking like an Ibiza beach bar and not a good one. For my garden, I wanted to find pieces that felt like they had been there for years and wouldn’t be phased by a few more winters outside. I wanted pieces that hadn’t been shipped from China or strapped together with super glue. I didn’t want to feel guilty about how they had been made or what materials had been used. So the best option to avoid all these pitfalls is to look for antique and vintage pieces.
The negatives are that they can be pricey, they’re not perfect, and once they’re gone, they are gone. But I thought if I offered you enough variety, all of the above could be swerved.
Lorfords is a dangerous place to visit. It is dangerously good at finding pieces you would give your eye teeth. Not only for your home but your garden too!
