About Refined
We are a family business with over 30 years experience in the furniture and antique trade. We offer quality affordable, useful period furniture that has both a financial and environmental investment value. Our ambition is to provide a sensible, credible and comparable alternative for furnishing the home, whilst realising the values of previous generations:
• save and invest
• re-use don’t discard, and
• quality is worth waiting for
Through a vibrant, fresh and innovative approach, we aim to become the new name and provider of useful and affordable quality period furniture and complimentary items.
Increasingly antiques are attracting less of a premium and represent excellent value for money when compared to modern equivalents – offering superb craftsmanship and quality. Our aim is to infuse a vibrant, fresh and modern approach to antiques, focusing on practical, affordable and quality items. We intend to challenge the idea that antiques are:
• For old people
• Too expensive
• Inconvenient
• Uninviting
• Unfashionable
• Complicated
• All the same
We are seeking to provide a more accessible and modern approach to antique dealing. We have recognised that there is an increase in investment focused buying behaviours, e.g. property market, and that buyers are increasingly information savvy – as well as offering the traditional aspects of antique dealing, buying and selling needs to be informative, easy and enjoyable for all.
