ABOUT US
We are passionate about finding new homes for antique, vintage and contemporary pieces that are beautifully designed, masterfully created and enduringly desirable.
​
Through experience, knowledge and research we look to share the story, history and social context of individual pieces; from design origins, points of craftsmanship to materials used.
As a business we are dedicated to sustainability and invite you to help us reduce carbon production, waste and pollution by considering an older and cherished item to furnish your home.

WHAT DRIVES US
THE TEAM
Martin Green
Martin’s interest in decor and furniture stems from three main sources: his love of history, an appreciation of beauty and craftsmanship and an ethical desire to recycle and re-use. Having owned and successfully run the Dorchester Curiosity Centre since it opened thirteen years ago, Martin has a broad general knowledge of antiques, furniture and collectibles and has an eye for the unusual and curious.
Robert Denton
Bob’s passion, from an early age, for history and country ways has led him into more than 50 years of dealing in antiques. His interest in design, from the 17th century to the present day, drives his enthusiasm to collect and he has amassed a great deal of knowledge that he is happy to share.
​
Christine Denton
Having been married to Bob for over fifty years, it's a good job that Chrissy also has a passion for antiques and decor! Her main interests lay in decorative glassware and oriental pieces. Chrissy also loves nothing better than bringing out the rich colours and patina in furniture.
