My world has always been the shop floor, the showroom, the warehouse. Here in Mayfair, people don’t buy just to sit. Young men with new flats, and they all want character. A vintage sofa, gives them that. I remember selling a Chesterfield to a gentleman from St John’s Wood, and he told me years later it was still going strong. That’s what vintage means. They flick through glossy catalogues, but sooner or later they return. Gloss wears off, whereas real furniture stays. Every part of London tells a different story.

St John’s Wood desires quiet luxury, with velvet chairs. Shoreditch is playful, old fashioned armchair with retro mismatches. That’s London. I’ve learnt over years, stylish upholstered seating accent chairs outlive their buyers. Glossy showrooms don’t sell that. I still sit to see how it feels, and the right piece never lies. History sits with you. If you’re thinking quick buy, take a breath. Pick up a retro armchair, and make it part of your Mayfair truth.
