Secondhand Curtain Agency

We no longer sell secondhand curtains

As of September 2016, we are no longer taking in secondhand curtains for re-sale.
Over the years there has been a definite reduction in the quantity and quality of secondhand curtains available, there is also less demand

Below is the page as was - (likely to be updated/removed soon)

We are occasionally asked why we sell secondhand curtains as if they were somehow of lesser quality than new curtains? We only take in curtains in good condition - preferably as new. The fact is that having been involved with secondhand curtains for more than twenty years we have seen some fabulous and unique creations that will have a life of very many years - we have sold full length, interlined curtains in designer names such as Romo, Henry Bertrand, Colefax and Fowler, Bennison, Osborne and Little, Andrew Martin, Pierre Frey, Sanderson, William Morris, Harlequin and many more. We have also seen some truly unique hand woven and hand printed fabrics from France and Italy. restored antique bridal hangings from Uzbekistan and stunning French cloque work in silk. We never know what will come through the door next.

All of the pictures below were taken by our staff after we supplied and fitted the curtains - please click on any picture for a larger version

Where do they come from?
From show homes, property changing
hands, people changing their minds,
curtains become available.

acoustic insulation, fitted on a bay window pole

We also have roll ends and clearance which has been made up interlined - these are actually new curtains but we can never get the fabric again.

When you find the perfect fabric in the perfect size for your windows you get the full benefit of how curtain agency works - we can also do alterations.

Why buy secondhand curtains?
Because, at their best they are stunning
bargains and genuine recycling. We only
take in good quality curtains in excellent
condition.

Curtains are adaptable, good curtains last a long time.

A client found these interlined linen curtains in the shop but she already had a pelmet board and track. The curtains were perfect but with no more fabric we created the pelmet and tiebacks in contrast faux suede.

We take in and sell good quality
secondhand curtains, full length, usually
interlined, often designer fabrics and in
excellent condition.

Good stock always wanted

Interlined and blackout. They were too long so
we shortened them and made a pelmet

Can you keep these for me ?
Yes if you pop in and see something
perfect, then ask us to put a reserved
sticker on the curtains until your
partner can see them.

There is no rhyme or reason to the secondhand, it comes, it goes and when they are perfect, they are simply too good to miss.

French cloque silk, beautiful and unique, we
can never get enough of this quality of item.
