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....
