PURE IMAGINATION

PURE IMAGINATION

After some 25 years of auctioneering Andrew set up Pure Imagination Ltd in 2002. Initially buying glass and ceramics in Scandinavia the company started to buy Mid-Century furniture which we now source all over the UK as well as in Europe. Jonathan joined us in 2011 and added his experience in British pieces from the 60's and 70's. We now also have a full-time restorer and upholsterer working for us, so customers can choose their own colours and fabrics for sofas and chairs. We have a wealth of experience between us and are passionate about what we sell. Our interests are many, so when we see great pieces from other periods we add them to our stock. Our 4000 square foot warehouse is full of pieces in restored and unrestored condition, we also regularly sell to European and Far Eastern trade buyers .

Hudson Antiques

 

Hudson Antiques

 

 

Darren Hudson first started his antiques career in 1992 when he went to work for the renowned dealer Patricia Harvey at her Marylebone shop and her Decorative Antiques Fair. After a few years of learning the decorative Antiques market he decided to venture out on his own and set up Hudson Grove Antiques and along with his friend David Groves took a shop neighbouring Patricia’s. Having run the shop successfully for many years, including moving to larger premises, Darren accepted the trend towards internet buying. Running a shop with its associated cost was making it difficult to be competitive. With that in mind he moved to a warehouse in 2015 and now operates through this website and continues to exhibit at the highly popular, thrice yearly, Decorative Antiques Fair. With the extra time not having to man a shop it allows more time for searching for the best things from around Europe and the UK. It also allows for Interior Designers, Trade and private clients to find the most interesting items at very competitive prices with a personal, friendly service. In 2016 he will be joined in the business by his girlfriend, Amber, who having proved herself in the past will be joining full time to help add a feminine eye to the business. They can now offer restoration, transport and are happy to search for specific pieces on their twice monthly trips to Europe.

TheKula

 

TheKula

 

 

'your upholstery is like fine tailoring' Sophie Conran

My name is Christine Shepherd, a Londoner by birth, entrepreneur and a free spirit by nature with a passion for chairs, lighting and art. And owner of TheKula.

We specialise in unusual and elegant chairs from the 1930’s – 1950’s and vintage lamps created by renowned Spanish manufacturer ‘fase’ of Madrid. Our chairs are for the discerning customer, those that seek quality and individuality as all our chairs are one-off, unique, beautiful creations. We also have a selection of handpicked tables, paintings and decorative items in our premises at 52 High Street, Old Town Hastings.

A little about me .....My passion for design and interiors developed in 2007, whilst living in Andalucia, Spain, when I was given the opportunity to remodel 33 rooms of Hotel Punta Sur in Tarifa. Delighted with the outcome the owners then commissioned me to design three new suites and remodel the lounge and restaurant areas.

In 2010 I returned to the UK and whilst wondering what to do next (I did say I was a free spirit) I began to see the mid-century chairs and ‘fase’ lamps that I had used in Spain in various lifestyle magazines. I thought to myself ‘I know where to find those!’ It was a ‘eureka’ moment and TheKula UK was born.

I source furnishings that inspire me, that make me gasp with excitement as soon as I see them …. and those that I can carry! What began with a weekly stall in Spitalfields Antique Market, London has developed into a small, but gorgeous shop in Hastings Old Town. My clients come from all walks of life with one thing in common …. an eye for beautiful things.
