FHS Member Christopher Howe has sourced antiques from around the globe for their unique provenance, exceptional quality and character for over 30 years.  His understanding and appreciation for the design and craftsmanship of these antiques has led to a huge inventory of fine old pieces and has informed a diverse and acclaimed collection in his bespoke range of designs of furniture and lighting ‘Made by Howe’. Inspired by and developed alongside the antique business these pieces are hand-crafted in Britain by highly-skilled and experienced craftsmen.

During our visit to his new 7,000 sq. ft Battersea warehouse, Christopher will explain the history of this old stableyard, the origins and history of his business (which includes two shops in Belgravia) and guide members on a tour of this new space which he shares with the company ‘Woven is’.  Since 1965, Woven's founder and co-owner Abraham Moradzadeh has been lovingly collecting antique rugs from all over the world. Launched in 2016, ‘Studio Woven’ designs handwoven rugs that intertwine ideas and cultures, inspired and informed by antique and vintage masterpieces.

COST: £20
