I hunted for my ideal art deco furniture for a while when I saw the sofa on the website Sam was very helpful allowing me to - via zoom - look at them against an adult for size. This resulted in me choosing two 3 seater (2 cushion) sofas and two armchairs . Choosing the fabric brought it even more to life for me going for a contrast piping for the sofas as well as for the chairs tying them all together. I am delighted with my purchases and so are my visitors. Don’t get me wrong these are big pieces of furniture to navigate into your home. Thankfully I have two sets of double doors allowing them to come into the house. Hope you agree with my colour choice. I love them - thank you Sam
It’s all come together nicely, thank you for your expertise we love our art deco sofas! They are so beautiful. From start to finish your company did a sterling job. Sam was so helpful and lovely do do business with. We would highly recommend the quality and service to anyone who enjoys interior design as we do.
