For as long as I can remember I've had a fascination with furniture and design, this thirst for knowledge led me to study cabinet making and furniture conservation at degree level.

After a strong grounding working for Bonhams Auctioneers, I decided to combine my love for study and my interest in furniture, by establishing myself as a specialist dealer and researcher in the field of furniture and design.

I believe well designed furniture with provenance and significance stands out from the crowd and what's more, researching it is rewarding, even if it does mean thumbing through reference books and catalogues well into the night.
