Barton furniture collection by Terence Conran for The Conran Shop

Barton table
The Conran Shop's new Barton furniture collection has some great British design names behind it: it was designed by Terence Conran and manufactured by Ercol.

The seven piece collection is made up of tables and stylish storage, all made from solid oak. As you might expect from the names involved, it's got a fairly classic look, with a nod to the mid-century, as shown in the coffee table pictured. 

Prices start at £595 for nesting tables and go up to £2995 for an armoire. The table pictured costs £650.

Flying Ducks Rug

Th4111298736809in%20situe 
The website selling the rug inaccurately describes it as being inspired by the Duckworths on Coronation Street, but as all retro interiors fans know, it was in fact Hilda Ogden who famously had these on her wall.

But, putting that aside, the Flying Ducks Rug provides a nice twist on the idea of duck flying across your wall, as here they will fly across your floor. The rug is available in two sizes; small (120cm x 170cm) priced £149.99 or medium (150cm x 230cm) for £239.99, and in a choice of beige or the odder options of sage or lilac.

eBay watch: Verner Panton Peacock Chair – Habitat limited reissue

Panton

Yes, I know we've featured this before, but the Habitat reissue of the Verner Panton Peacock Chair rarely comes up, so if well worth another mention.

If you missed it last time we featured it, the Peacock Chair dates back to 1969, with a design inspired by a peacock's tail. It's a stunning, attention-grabbing design, even as a reissue.

This reissue dates from 1999, when it was reissued in limited numbers and discontinued in less than a year. 12 years on and it has become a collector's piece in its own right. Condition is described as 'good' and has been 'carefully looked after'. Want it? Bidding is currently at £150.

Church’s Patent Burwood Wingtip Brogues

Church

Not the cheapest shoes on the market, but if you want classic and long-lasting, these Church's Patent Burwood Wingtip Brogues are hard to beat.

That rich chocolate brown colour for the patent leather is certainly an eye-catcher, with the shoe finished with the decorative brogue perforations and topped off with a leather sole.

£355 is the hefty asking price, but look after them and these timeless gems should serve you well for many years.
