Some sparkling ideas for your home
By Alison Cork
Waxing lyrical
When you’re thinking of festive accessories, don’t forget Price’s Patent Candle Factory. It is still based on the site of the original candle factory in SW11 and sells surplus stock and ends of lines at up to 30 per cent off the normal price.
You’ll find an eclectic collection of church candles, floating, outdoor and fragranced candles, plus accessories such as holders and lanterns, and the store is open seven days a week.
Visit the factory at 100 York Road, Battersea, SW11.
Missing link
If you want to introduce some sparkle into the autumn gloom, or have a chandelier that needs a bit of renovation.
Established in 1989, Crystal Corner have a large selection of antique chandeliers, lamps, wall lights and some decorative pieces for childrens bedroom. Most of their chandeliers are sourced from France or Italy and can be reworked to include rewiring.
They also offer a full chandelier service ranging from total restoration to simply replacing individual drops, drip trays and beads, either in new or antique glass.
Seating solutions
Full of clever and good looking furniture at sensible prices, Room Collection has come up with another ingenious little idea which caught my eye.
The Galla Dining Table actually starts out life as a console and sits at just 40cm wide against the wall. But pull out the legs and flip open the top, and it becomes a six person dining table. Very smart and also affordable at £275.
