The Peanut Vendor is a Mid-Century furniture shop based in Newington Green in Islington. The purpose of the shop is to find all those wonderful, previously loved and treasured pieces of furniture and homeware, those that are as nostalgic as they are design classics, and present them to people in an accessible and affordable way.

The Peanut Vendors are Barny and Becky, we've both had long term obsessions with all that is old: collecting records, clothes and furniture since time began. We decided to turn our hobby into a full time job, risking it all for a life of early morning markets, Thermos flasks and long johns.

From early to mid 20th century, we stock an eclectic mix of pieces, from one off pieces to classic items like Ercol. We only stock original pieces, sourced and hand selected by trawling the country's auctions and antiques warehouses. Taking inspiration from the design giants from the 20's through to the 60's we are dothing our hat to Juhl, Day, Eames, Panton, Wegner, Welch, Moller and the whole gang.

The beauty of The Peanut Vendor is that we have very specific tastes, which ensures that junk, kitch and 'retro' tack do not creep into our shopping list. Our tastes, change regularly just like the design climate. So you can always find relevant pieces as well as some stylish oddities.

We realised, that in London at least, there is a gap in the market for good quality furniture that doesn't cost the earth and we want to help people make their home look tasteful and stylish, with authentic furniture, from a period of time that rocked the design world. The Peanut Vendor is not about stocking original costly design classics, instead we'll stock original furniture from the same era with all the design reference points, at a fraction of the price.

P.S. You might find on the odd Tuesday we're not in until about 1ish, thats because we're out on a buying trip. If you're planning to visit on a Tuesday, best to call ahead and check. 0207 226 5727
