BESPOKE SERVICES
At Litten Tree Antiques, we love helping clients create unique, personalised designs by incorporating antique or vintage pieces and textiles into their projects. This approach not only delivers bespoke aesthetics but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability and the circular economy.
We have a lot of success reupholstering antique furniture with modern fabrics, often using remnants from large fabric houses. This allows
us to craft contemporary, “of-the-moment” looks while giving timeless antiques a fresh, modern appeal—all at competitive prices.
Additionally, we can manufacture modern pieces, such as ottomans and headboards, upholstered in vintage textiles. For those seeking to introduce vibrant colors into their projects, we offer a professional painting service that transforms dated vintage items into pieces that create colourful accents
in a space. Imagine a bathroom vanity unit, a boot room bench, or bedside tables tailored to your scheme.
Looking ahead, we are excited to explore the creation of unique furniture pieces using wood exclusively sourced from trees felled in the UK. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting venture!
Upholstery
We collaborate with upholsterers skilled in refurbishing and
reupholstering antique chairs, sofas, ottomans, and beds using traditional techniques.
Clients can purchase pieces we’ve already restored or select
items from our monthly catalogue and choose their own fabrics and trims. With trade accounts at many major fabric houses, clients can pick their preferred fabric, or they are welcome to provide their own.
We enjoy working with antique and vintage furniture, their
frames underneath are often crafted from oak, beech, or mahogany. Breathing new life into a 200-year-old piece and ensuring it will be cherished for another 200 years is not only a celebration of sustainability but also a wonderfully creative process. This embodies the principles of the circular economy while delivering truly unique and functional furniture.
MANUFACTURED PIECES
If you’re unable to find the perfect piece for your space,
we can create a bespoke item tailored to your preferences. Whether it’s an ottoman or a headboard, we use vintage textiles to craft one-of-a-kind pieces.
We have a vast collection of vintage and antique fabrics,
enabling us to produce truly distinctive designs.
PAINTED PIECES
At fairs, we often come across furniture with stunning shapes and designs but surfaces that have lost their appeal or are beyond restoration. Instead of discarding these items, we transform them using high-quality water-based paints, creating eggshell, gloss, or lacquered finishes that give them a new lease on life.
These painted pieces can provide the perfect accent color for your decorative scheme. Some examples of our transformations include:
- Antique washstands turned into bathroom vanity units.
- Bedside tables with bold, colorful finishes.
- Glazed cupboards repurposed for kitchens.
- Boot room benches designed for practical elegance.
One of our favorite projects is reviving Vico Magistretti Carimate chairs, restoring their iconic charm for our discerning clients.
