Care Guide

My favourite materials are those that patina with age & a little tough love, and look better with repairs. The ones that get marked, stained, crack, change colour and look better which each story & layer of history and if you listened closely enough you might hear a snippet of a conversation, catch a scent of a time gone-by or a remnant of a whistled sea shanty. Materials that you may have found on an 1800’s seafaring galleon manila or equipment required for collecting botanical specimens: canvas, leather, hardwoods, steel, brass, cork, rope, zinc, glass, ceramic.

Hardware merchants & makers of hardy, humble & useful objects. Embracing the nostalgia of heritage trades and materials. Iron, brass, cane, leather, canvas & timber.
