About Us
Not Forgotten, Reclaimed!
Wanting to keep antiques, collectables, home decor and well being items usable in today’s world of throw away! My idea was to create a hobby to keep me busy while reclaiming and repairing items for use in today’s world!
Reclaimed means less in landfills and more beauty in ones home!
Now it is all about reclaiming, repairing and then spreading the idea through sales and education.
We have become a throw away society unfortunately! My goal is multifold as stated above and hopefully in the near future I will be able to record and post short educational videos on what I have done to an item, where it came from and materials used. Along with this to say how something 50+ years old still has its uses.
I also plan on sharing either by text or video publication the new, as in brand new never used, products are sourced via a great wholesaler. This wholesaler uses as much as possible local communities to produce items in the traditional way. Incense sticks and cones are a great example. Also, if they can’t do that they at least design the products in the UK or with local communities and then have them produced in an appropriate country.
Meet the Founder
When we do refurbishments and sympathetic restorations we try to keep as many originals parts as possible. However, sometimes we need to use other antique parts or New Old Stock (NOS) that come from ‘donor’ items. By donor items, it is simply products where the main part is not salvageable so we salvage, refurbish/repair the good parts to use on other antiques and vintage items. This is mostly true for our antique and vintage oil lamps, pressure lamps and Primus stoves.
