We
often get asked, "So what should I buy as a good long term
investment?" If you are looking for more than "aesthetic
pleasure", perhaps you're seeking a longer term investment
in a well made piece of furniture that you can use, what do you
choose? Buy the best quality, condition and provenance you can afford
whatever the period. Investing in craftsmanship, can provide a pleasant
financial bonus in addition to the pleasure gained from being long
term caretakers of these fine pieces of work.
Investing for tomorrow.....?
We are gathering together a few stylish, highly affordable more
contemporary examples of fabulous retro on this page that we love
and are happy to live with - we believe they are tomorrows heirlooms
- maybe not to everyone's taste, but superb design, quality and
provenance nevertheless.... |
