Five affordable pieces of antique furniture to bid for at Hutchinson Scott auction
22 April 2020 ‘Antique’ doesn’t have to mean eye-wateringly expensive. Often the opposite, in fact. And you also have the immense satisfaction that in recycling, instead of buying brand new, you are of course Saving The World.
