If you covet industrial and antique objects then quintessential duckeggBLUE is the store to visit.
Leanne Carter-Taylor, owner and founder of cult fashion and lifestyle boutique, duckeggBLUE, is responsible for sourcing the impressive selection, specialising in reclaimed industrial and antique furniture. quintessential duckeggBLUE offers you only the most select pieces from around the world, including Europe, America and Russia, and of course England, Leanne’s ‘mother land’! From reconditioned French industrial workbenches, tables, chairs and storage lockers to antique Georgian Windsor chairs, old English club sofa chairs dating from 1890 to medical units dating from the 1930’s, industrial lighting, pigeon holes, clocks, original bus destination signs to an array of unusual antique curiosities and one-off finds.
quintessential duckeggBLUE answers questions such as ‘what is the quintessential farmhouse table?’ By sourcing European antique tables made from timbers such as English Elm, French Oak and chestnut, which epitomise the classic shape and detail of a ‘quintessential’ farmhouse table.
What makes a 1930’s leather chair quintessential? Or a 100 year-old clock our favourite way to keep track of our modern schedules? We all know that quality and provenance are paramount, but what’s that intangible ‘something else’ that really makes a piece covetable?
Finding these covetable pieces is Leanne’s passion. Just as our homes are a reflection of each of, never quite perfect, always improving and changing, Leanne strongly believes that the shop is a reflection of her. She travels and buys from all over the world; only those objects which she believes are the best of their type make it to quintessential duckeggBLUE.
The ‘finds’ are then professionally restored with great care and attention to detail; ensuring they are perfectly ready to be integrated into your home, retail stores, warehouse lofts or offices.
Alongside our acclaimed furniture, we offer an eclectic mix of modern accessories for the home, from heady Mathias candles, Penguin classic notebooks, to quirky French napery and cushions.
