Kate Thurlow has been selling the early and unusual since the 1970s. After forty years of being shop based Kate moved in the new year to a spacious studio just south of Chelsea Bridge in Battersea. This will enable the business to increase online presence whilst retaining a showroom for customers who still seek the physical and visual experience of the real thing. Set over one floor the dove grey walls are covered with sparkling mercury plate mirrors, a variety of antique textiles and Indian miniature paintings while the space is filled with English and Continental domestic furniture, charming painted cupboards and deep French armchairs some upholstered in colourful antique Kilim. If you are tired of the disposable furniture revolution and looking for a longer term relationship Gallery Forty One has pieces to last a lifetime (or two).
