Day Trip to London: Shopping at LoveDay Antiques

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Suzy Q

My Europe vacation never seems to end! Last week I decided to take a day trip to London and do the one thing I love – antique hunting! I came across an amazing shop in London called LoveDay that showcases modern art and antique furniture dating from the 18^th-21^st century. You can find just about any high-end antiques for your home ranging from leather chairs, sculptures, and lots of modern art. Their price range is pretty reasonable considering the great condition their pieces are in and the amazing “wow” factor they bring to a space.

Take a look at some of my favorite finds below:

These rare French floor lamps were by far my favorite piece at LoveDay. They both have their original shades and decorative gilt work with swan shaped features. I could really see these two used in a living room on either end of a grand fireplace or on two nightstands in a bedroom.

The cream Chinoserie painted on this Bureau Bookcase was stunning. I can’t get over how gorgeous the gilt ball and claw feet are, a definite must!

I have always wanted one of these clocks in my home! Chinoserie lacquer with Georgian oak makes this beauty even more unique. Having something like this from 1755 really makes it a fascinating piece of furniture.

A William IV mahogany leather chair.

Every home needs one of these side tables in their lobby with a mirror placed right above. This one is made out of marble with brass feet.

I was actually surprised these Edwardian Chesterfield chairs were from 1788! The deep buttons, swept oak legs, and brass castors are definitely coming back in style! Not only are they stylish, they are extremely comfortable and work well in many different room settings.

At LoveDay you will notice they love to support local talent like this bronze stallion designed by Tony Evans. As a young artist having graduated in 2003 from The Wirral Metropolitan College, he already sold many of his works throughout the UK, America, Europe, and the Middle East.
