We are featured in the October 2020 issue of Homes and Antiques magazine. 

‘The beauty of a hard-working boot room’ – by Luke Edward Hall in the House and Home section of the Saturday 12th Oct issue of the FT, was in response to a readers’ question about how to bring order to the chaos of the boot room, featured our lovely ‘bread and cheese’ cupboard.  The cupboard featured is now sold but this one has just come in.

Art in the Hall have an exhibition of art, sculpture, antique furniture (Tim Bowen Antiques), jewellery, plants…all curated by Brigid Jones and her talented garden designer sister Jess Jones.  24th August – 8th September.  Well worth a visit.  WARNING – you may not leave empty handed. 

We are thrilled to be ‘in Cahoots’ with the lovely crowd from Art in the Hall at Llangathen (just next to Aberglasney Gardens). Carmarthenshire – June 22-30.  We are excited to be working alongside this creative and successful group which includes many contemporary artists and makers. It will be an opportunity to see and buy the work of these artisans alongside our rather older, and now anonymous makers.  We’re planning to take a bread and cheese cupboard from North Wales, one of the best examples of a Welsh stick chair which originates from the Twyi Valley and a carved oak 17th century coffer.   You can follow Art at the Hall on Instagram and Facebook @art_at_the_hall  

We are delighted to provide some of our furniture on loan, to Carmarthen School of Art for the installation for their exhibition – Thoughts, Words and Deeds – 13 February – 7 March 2019 at Oriel Henry Thomas, Jobs Well Rd Campus, Carmarthen, SA31 3HY.  The exhibition will showcase some of the students and staffs work and in particular the research, thought and theory part of art.  It will demonstrate the transition from an idea to the completed work.  Please do call in to see the exhibition if you are in Carmarthen.

We read an excellent article in yesterday’s Telegraph by Anna Tyzack – under the title Does your house pass the posh test? it included lots of lovely quotes. According to Nicky Haslam. “People don’t fill their rooms with enough furniture these days,”  and he complains, “furniture should be touching or at least closely positioned all round the room.”  He also advocates filling your house with books and striving for the unfitted kitchen  He says “A kitchen should look like any other room that happens to have a stove in it,”.  He also advocates that every room should have at least one antique – hooray!  although of course this really should be considered as a starting point.   I’m not sure what Ms Tyzack’s would have to say about the Bowen’s house, as seen here (sitting room clutter and sleepy nine year old boy) early on a blustery January Sunday morning perhaps we might even pass the posh test!
