Please note that all original pieces are carefully selected at random for your order by Notting Hill Interiors. While the items you receive will closely resemble those shown on our website, each piece is one-of-a-kind, and no two are exactly the same. As vintage items, each has its own unique history, adding to its charm and character.
Our ‘Original’ products have been handcrafted and hand-finished using traditional techniques, and are of considerable age. Minor variations in size, design, and finish are part of the natural beauty and individuality of these pieces, and are not considered defects. These small imperfections only enhance the unique appeal of each item.
If you prefer to choose your piece in person, we recommend visiting our shop to view the selection firsthand. This allows you to see the unique details and character of each item up close.
