New Dealer - Simon Pugh


The Old Cinema welcomes new dealer Simon Pugh to his space on the ground floor' just past our main reception area. Simon began many years ago as a porter and valuer at Christies. From there, he went on to deal antiques and design his own furniture from premises in Lillie Road and Walton Street.  He has considerable expertise in Georgian, Victorian and 20th century goods, spending the last five years sourcing specialist pieces for stores including Paul Smith, Hackett, Cath Kidston and Jigsaw.

Simon's view on design is 'I always like mixing old with new.  I have a weakness for 1970s chrome and leather, and for classic Heals design'.
Simon currently has a fantastic selection of retro furniture and accessories (including pieces by the famouse Merrow Associates), and a rare complete 66 volume set of 1950s Jazz books!
