Interior of The Forgotten Find antique shop

Our Story

The Forgotten Find began with a passion for preserving the craftsmanship and stories of the past.

Founded in 2015 by master restorer James Harrington and interior designer Eleanor Wright, our shop grew from a small workshop into a destination for those who appreciate quality, craftsmanship, and history.

We believe that furniture should be more than functional—it should tell a story and create connections across generations. Every piece in our collection is carefully chosen for its unique character, historical significance, and enduring quality.

Our team of experts travels throughout Europe and America to source authentic pieces from estates, auctions, and private collections. Each item is thoroughly researched, expertly restored if needed, and presented with its unique history.

Authenticity

We verify and document the provenance of every piece in our collection.

Craftsmanship

We honor the skilled artisans of the past by preserving their work.

Sustainability

Antique furniture represents the original sustainable home furnishing.
