Vintage Furniture -
Just for a change, here’s a little postette about my brother-in-law, Dan Poole of Rosewood and Teak – Vintage Furniture.
Based in West London, Dan sources and sells collectable vintage furniture from the 1950′s & 60′s, specialising in the best of British and Danish craftsmanship and design. Most of the vintage furniture he buys are wood based incorporating solid Teak, Rosewood and Afromosia (African Teak). His expertise is primarily chairs and sideboards, but he has such an excellent eye for design that he really enjoys discovering a piece that is both beautiful to look at and a great example of such a classic genre.
What makes Dan particularly good is that he aims to acquire pieces that will retain their value, mostly mid-range and therefore avoiding the more mass produced and obvious designs. He buys a few pieces each month and prices them fairly and unlike many other dealers, he doesn’t have a shop so he’s very competitively priced.
If you’re in the market and appreciate these timeless and functional works of art, then contact Dan via his Facebook Page.
