    Cornish Vintage

    We are Carol and Paul of Cornish Vintage and The Antique Chef. We started our business over 10 years ago out of a shared love for unique interiors.

    Whether it be all things vintage, Midcentury, rustic or industrial, we like to mix things up.

    What started out as a passion has now turned into our business. Buying vintage is truly sustainable and one of the finest forms of recycling.

    We absolutely love sourcing and the thrill of finding those one off items. That takes us the length and breath of the UK and all over Europe. Basically we buy anything we like the look of!

    I’m a professional furniture upcycler, specialising mostly in mid-century pieces alongside selling carefully-chosen vintage finds. 

    In 2018, whilst in my 40’s and after a career in education, I went back to college to study Creative Interior Techniques at Writtle University which I absolutely loved. This was followed by further courses in upholstery and upcycling skills and I had found my niche. The business was created in 2022. Each new find tells a story of a life already lived and over time I found that I preferred the clean lines and neat shapes of furniture from the 1950s-1970s.

    The starting point for the upcycling process is to search out  pieces of vintage furniture that are “structurally sound” yet “cosmetically challenged”. These are carefully prepped at my workshop before updating with high quality paints, carefully-chosen wallpaper and lots of varnish for durability.

    Furniture and sustainability doesn’t have to be boring. From statement sideboards, to drinks trolleys, hallway benches, chest of drawers and side tables (and everything in between), find your one-of-a-kind sustainable, vintage and unique furniture with me..  It’s my mission to take unloved furniture and respectfully enhance it to give it a bright new future, creating exclusive and statement pieces of furniture for my customers’ homes and business and the aim is to make people ask “Wow, where did you get that?!”

  • The Print Arkive

    The Print Arkive

    The Print Arkive deals in original vintage posters together with books, magazines, and journals on graphic design, the graphic arts and visual culture.

    The collection features authentic mid-20th century and later posters — all original printed examples, never reproductions. Posters are chosen for their strong graphic impact, historical interest, and condition.

    Unlike fine art, posters were never meant to last. Created for a single event or campaign, they are ephemeral by nature. That makes surviving examples rarer and more special. They offer a fascinating window into the social culture of their time, yet so many have been lost, damaged or simply forgotten.

    There’s a real thrill in the hunt: sourcing from private estates, auctions, antique markets and collectors fairs. Unrolling a tube that hasn’t seen daylight for decades and knowing you’re helping preserve it for future generations — that’s what makes it so exciting.

    At home, in the office or a retail space, these posters fit comfortably into any environment. They often make a far bolder and more striking statement than traditional art, and they always spark interesting conversations.

  • & VNTG

    & VNTG

    & VNTG is all about finding good vintage furniture and getting it back to a place where it can be properly used and enjoyed again.

    The focus is mainly mid century pieces – sideboards, chests, tables and storage – with an emphasis on well-made British and Danish pieces from the 1950s to 1970s. The kind of furniture that was made well in the first place and just needs a bit of care to bring it back.

    Each piece is restored in-house, with tops typically stripped and oiled and everything else cleaned and revived, while keeping the character that comes with age. There’s no overcomplicating it – just solid, well-designed furniture that works.

    Stock changes regularly depending on what turns up, but the aim is always the same: quality pieces, properly restored, ready to go again. These aren’t throwaway pieces – they’re built to last and built for everyday living.

  • Casta Blue

    Casta Blue

    Casta Blue specialises in well-designed mid-century and vintage furniture, with a particular focus on British, Danish and Scandinavian makers. At the core of the business is a belief that good design should last — and that well-made furniture deserves to be cared for, restored and lived with for generations.

    Restoration is central to what we do. Many of the pieces we offer are carefully restored in-house, with an approach that respects original materials, proportions and character. The aim is not to over-finish, but to bring each piece back to a standard where it can be used and appreciated again. Alongside this, we also undertake restoration work for private clients across Cornwall, helping to extend the life of furniture that holds both quality and personal meaning.

    Casta Blue is run by a husband-and-wife team from our shop in St Columb Major, on Cornwall’s north coast, where we also live. The business is intentionally kept small and hands-on, allowing us to focus on sourcing well-made pieces, restoring them properly, and offering furniture with long-term value rather than short-term appeal. Our collection is constantly evolving, with each piece chosen for its design, craftsmanship and presence.
