Jacob Street

I am obsessed with the neat, chic little chairs from the middle of the last century. Today we’re used to slouching around, half asleep, in big squashy sofas today that take up half the living room. These little chairs bring you back to a time when people sat up straight and had proper conversations with each other. It seems much more refined.

We have a selection of vintage mid-century chairs in stock that have been (like the chairs pictured here) refurbished and restored to a high standard.

Two elegant takes on teatime for you, we have more tea sets in store now.

I’ve not updated the blog in ages, but things have been very busy. I’ve just completed a couple of show houses at Hartley Hall in Greenisland. This photo comes from one of the show house and shows how you can mix vintage and contemporary styles to create a very relaxed modern look.

Jacob Street has also moved premises to beside Bedeck on the Lisburn Road in Belfast. Come in and visit us there to see a great mix of modern and vintage clothing, homewares and jewellery.
