THE VINTAGE SALVAGER

WE ARE A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS WITH A PASSION FOR RECLAIMING AND RELOVING OLD DISCARDED MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS AND REPURPOSING THEM INTO SOMETHING LOVELY AS WELL AS USEFUL.

Our ethos is to make beautiful gifts, furniture and homewares by mixing industrial metal elements with rustic reclaimed wood and concrete.
Each piece is unique, individually hand-made by us so you’ll never find an exact copy!
Bespoke, Handmade, Unique.

Challenged myself to make a coffee table only from materials that I had in my workshop. Came up with this! Used a very rustic French outhouse/barn shutter/door Just needs a light finish now. It can all be disassembled easily. What do you think?

Getting into making some serious decorative window grilles and as we have to make more than one a template is a must. It's all in the prep work, the easy part is welding it, he says with a twitching eyebrow!! Stick welding 3mm is interesting for distortion!!

Designing big decorative window grilles for a client's new unit. Not finished yet but have to say, fits perfectly. They were originally going to be painted white but after seeing this, it looks like natural steel finished our way wins!
