Eldercroft and Sons
Hunting out vintage and antique treasures has always been my passion and I started Eldercroft and Sons to share my unique finds and the knowledge I have gained. We specialise in art and antique jewellery as well as functional and decorative pieces that add unique character to interiors. Eldercroft and Sons was created to celebrate the skills of makers from the past and encourage new uses for antique and vintage treasures. These items are an excellent sustainable choice that will add a little luxury and personality to your home. They stand out in a world dominated by mass produced items. They have already stood the test of time and will continue to be of value and increasingly rare in the future. Invest in high quality, unique pieces to adorn yourself and your home. Explore the past to enhance the present.
While we do not currently have a physical store for you to visit, we are happy to meet people in the Wellington area to allow you to view items in person. Delivery in the Wellington area is also possible for high value or particularly fragile items. If you would like to hire any of the items available please get in touch for a quote.
For those from further afield we are happy to provide additional images or set up a time to show the item on what's app or google meets. We also have a smaller number of pieces available to purchase via TradeMe, where we trade as eldercroftnsons.
If there is anything we can do to assist you please get in touch at any time. We would be delighted to help you source specific pieces for your collection.
