From Mayfair With Style: Vintage Sofas and Armchairs That Endure

[fransiebenhaar0]

I’ve been in the trade man and boy for decades. Here in Mayfair, customers aren’t simply shopping for wood and accent chairs for living room fabric. Couples step through the door, and they all want character. A funky accent chair, never fails to speak up. There was a velvet sofa that went to a townhouse in Chelsea, and he told me years later it was still going strong. This is why old beats new. People wander past the big chains, but eventually they realise.

Cheap wood snaps, whereas old luxury chairs uk carry life. Taste splits by borough. Kensington demands velvet, with deep seats. Brixton is bold, with funky fabrics. That’s the reality. I’ll tell you something else, a sofa becomes family. Glossy showrooms don’t sell that. I still knock on the wood for weight, and the difference is clear. Vintage has truth. When a showroom tempts you, pause. Bring home something with story, and make it part of your Mayfair truth.
