A vintage leather gym mat, circa 1930s.
The paler in colour of the two gym mats from our recent stock has already been snapped up, but the darker one is still available in store and online.
Made from thick leather that has softened with use, these mats have a lovely patina.This is the kind of salvage we love to find and use in our design projects, as you can see in the 3rd image a gym mat is turned into a living room centerpiece, soft enough to put your feet up on and sturdy enough to pile up books.
Size approx: L 1800, D 1100 mm

Reclaimed pink sink in a marble-lined bathroom for a London based design project. Designed to be the children’s bathroom, we ensured the full stone surround would make the perfect splash-zone.
There’s often a resistance to second-hand sanitaryware, despite these pieces being among the most enduring objects in a building. Vitreous china was made to survive decades of use, yet so much is discarded purely in pursuit of the new. Reclaimed basins and baths often carry a richness that you may not find in a new design: vintage colours and unusual forms. Sanitaryware deserves the same consideration we give to buying vintage furniture.

Salvage story: These Rose Aurora marble slabs were salvaged from an office building in the city. They soon landed in the hands of our design team and have been rehomed in a few of our projects. Rose Aurora marble is a decorative marble quarried in Portugal, known for its soft pink, peach, and cream tones with gentle veining. Although this marble is not a grand tour marble and is widely used in Architecture and interiors, we still value the reuse of this stock. What would have been tipped, now lines bathrooms pairing brilliantly with teak.

In this beautiful Suffolk farmhouse, we transformed the old utility and pantry into an informal country boot room entrance hall. The floor settled in once we added locally sourced reclaimed terracotta pamments. An Iranian rug acts as a dramatic sleight of hand, disguising the sudden change of scale into the restored barn. The rich red color is owing to handmade waxed wallpaper from India, made in sheets.

Appliqué Egyptian Textile Panel #1765
This wonderfully faded fabric panel was probably produced in Egypt in the early 20th century as a souvenir for visiting tourists. A similar example can be found in the V&A Collections.

Salvaged soft woods floor boards offer the perfect reclaimed option for those who love a light and bright floor. They come into our warehouse in a well lived state which some may love to keep. Or for those who wish to retain the look of an old Georgian house, sanding the surface shows a soft pale and hardwearing result. Swipe to see how we have used reclaimed pine in our residential projects…

4 - In this ensuite the floorboards don’t stop at the skirting. The horizontal panelling continues up the wall creating the boxing for the toilet cistern and behind the sink.
5 - In Rodel House, the wide pine floor boards in an upstairs bathroom reach vertically up to touch the salvaged Iroko bath top.
6- Panelled pine concertina doors flow into the reclaimed pine floor boards.
