Behind Refined

Refined is a small family business with over 30 years experience in the antique and furniture trade, and we specialize in antique furniture and associated items, including books, pictures and collectables.

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
• reuse don’t discard, and
• quality is worth waiting for

Increasingly antiques are attracting less of a premium and represent excellent value for money when compared to modern equivalents. 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

Furthermore, we have recognised that buyers are progressively more investment and information savvy, and that buying and selling antiques needs to be more accessible, informative, easy and enjoyable for all.
