Porcelain & Pottery
Porcelain and pottery are big hits with buyers and sellers –
it’s a market that continuously holds value and interest. When
it comes to setting the scene in your home, alongside
candlesticks, they can make or break your holiday or table
setting decor. Moreover, they’re always huge conversational
pieces. You may be asked “where did you find these!” or
“how can I get my hands on a set!?” to which you may confidently
reply “they’re one-of-a-kind” or “these are very rare.”

Candlesticks
Candles have a long history not only as a source of light but in
the way we live and decorate, and will always remain a focal point
in any living or dining room. The beauty is, they take on a different
