In our period-inspired shop, we’ve gathered the loveliest traditional, classic, and vintage style wares for home, garden and body.
We may not be able to live at Pemberley (or at Downton Abbey, Green Gables, or Howards End), but we can all have a few precious items that almost make us feel like we do. It may sound silly to some, but we think the right linen tea towel or wooden bowl can really transport a soul. We are guessing you feel the same, so we’ve made it easy for you to sift through an abundance of period loveliness in one shop.
Many of the goods come from independent makers, small manufacturers, and artisans who create traditional and timeless products using all but forgotten skills and tools. There are heritage brands too that your grandparents would know, still producing heirloom wares that are functional, beautiful and made to last. And of course there’s a tea shop filled with everything you need for a proper English tea time.
Look for handmade, hand-crafted, homemade, sustainable, fair-trade goods alongside reproduction items with classic old-fashioned style, from our partners.
Even if you aren’t shopping, you’ll find inspiration: historically inspired and period authentic furnishings and home decor for the French country, American farmhouse, primitive homestead, Prairie house or English cottage of your dreams.
TEA & PANTRY: The best British, English, Irish and French teapots, mugs and black teas. Look for organic, fair-trade and Rainforest Alliance Certified teas, teacups that are made at The Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent, England using traditional methods, hand-painting and original copper plates. Teatime treats too.
