Welcome to Christmas

Home has excelled itself this year, deftly stepping in as office, classroom and goodness knows what else! At Christmas, home finally gets to do what it does best – to offer comfort and hopefully a little joy. 

No. 19 is particularly good at doing Christmas. So much so that we've had two Christmases this year. The first time over two sultry August days, when House & Garden bustled into town with a beautiful chaos of Christmas decorations,candles and foliage (not forgetting the 10 foot tree!) to shoot their festive feature.

And now, after a frenetic end to the year, it's time for the real Christmas – a time when home is just home, and we're able to put feet up and enjoy the fruits of this year's labours. We hope you are able to do the same.

A final thank you to our exceptional team – as well as Miss Pickering, Pearl Bugg all the brilliant people who make what we do possible. And heartfelt thanks to all those who have given our antiques or commissioned one-off pieces a new home this year. Your appreciation of what we do means the world to us.

Peace and goodwill to you all.
