With a magpie’s eye, we’ve been buying and selling for approaching twenty years. There’s no particular system at all, but everything goes through my rigorous selection process, namely: we like it and would happily live with it if we had the room. We’re aiming for something between Mr Gruber’s shop from Paddington, and Black Books.

Prices range from £5 to £1,000, so there’s something for everyone. Come and visit us at our shop in Greenwich Market or get in touch if something catches your eye. Happy to arrange delivery, or to reserve it if you want to take a look first.

Various propaganda posters from the Weimar Republic. These were produced in the DDR in 1974. Include work by John Heartfield, Alfred Frank, Alex Kell, Mac Gebhart. Lots of hammers, sickles and stern warriors stomping on fascists. #weimar #germanart

I’m going to do the antique dealers trick and “attribute” these CV panels to Paul Vanders. They’re not signed, but they do look right. Very cool 1970’s look, you can pretend you’re on the set of Logan’s Run.
