Flint at Home is the sister shop to Flint down the road. This is shop is much warmer in feel…read morethough, with beautiful wooden floors and a nicer balance between the beachy shabby chic look and minimalism. They sell small collections of home decor items like candles, cushions in muted antique rose patterns, simple stoneware mugs, as well as some furniture and lots of design books. It's all quite expensive but very good quality. I can't afford much here but I go and look for inspiration- I love the color of the walls in the shop- a fabulous grey/pale blue.

This branch of Flint now houses both Flint at Home (the housewares) and the Flint clothing…read morecollection. The housewares are on the ground floor, the clothing upstairs. On the ground floor they have lots of coffee table books, a few cosmetics by REN and fragrances by Miller Harris, some nice vases and ornaments, embroidered cushions and flowers. Everything is in pale colours, whites, greys, pale blues and creams, and there is lots of unfinished wood. Upstairs the clothing has a similar feel, pale neutral shades by designers such as Margaret Howell. I couldn't afford to shop here, a plain linen scarf will set you back a good £70, but I suppose the aesthetic is fairly pleasant in a sophisticated but unstuffy kind of way. Unfortunately I tend feel a bit uncomfortable when I go in because the shop lady stares at me a bit, and says hello like she doesn't really mean it.

Lewes seems to be rife with antiques shops (Cliffe High Street in particular), they seem to range…read morefrom some fantastic and fascinating collections of furniture and accessories from times long gone by (in the style of a genuine and well established store) to the more modern shabby chic "I saw you coming" type of shops. Lewes Antiques Centre is definitely one of the former. Focussing more on the small household wares and accessories this place has a good selection of glass cabinets filled with all manner of interesting trinkets from the past. It's a little like when you're young and you sneak off to go through the dining room drawers at your grandparents' place on Sundays. While the prices and the stock in here are great the vibe of the place seems to be really odd, had I gone in on my own I would have almost certainly left within a minute or so. The reason for this is that the people who were apparently the staff seemed generally unpleasant huffing and puffing every time I was remotely in their way rather than simply saying excuse me. Then there was the constant whispering. Nothing is going to set a potential customer less at their ease than the sound of hushed voices from behind the counter whilst they are trying to browse. If you can get past that though then I have to say this would be one of the best places going to pick up the finishing touches to a 1930s fancy dress outfit.

I must agree with the previous review. I love going round antique shops but the people here are…read morevery grumpy. It's as if they find having customers an inconvenience. Other antique shops in the town are more welcoming.

Pastorale Antiques is housed in a large, stone warehouse building. They basically just sell…read morefurniture, particularly large items. They had a couple of wicker armchairs which were quite nice, they would look good in a large conservatory. At £200 each, they are more likely to be afforded by the sort of person that has a large conservatory, rather that someone like me who lives in a small one bed flat. There weren't any members of staff around when we wandered in, I suppose it would be difficult to make off with an antique bed head in your pocket. Armchairs aside, I didn't see any particularly stand out pieces. I'd say the best thing about Pastorale Antiques is the Buttercup café that is housed in its courtyard. The only noise came from an ancient boombox - I'm not sure if that was one of the antiques on sale or not...

The quality in…read morethe craftmanship of the cabinets is top draw and I am convinced they will last a life time. The tiler, Paul, who has worked for Lewes Wood works for many years is very professional and clearly an expert in his field. He spent time planning on how best to lay the floor tiles to give the best finish and this was certainly achieved. The kitchen fitters who have also worked for Lewes Woodworks for many years did a great job and set a high standard of workmanship and always left the house looking clean and tidy during the fitting. The painter returned to put the top coat of paint on the cabinets was meticulous with the final coat. In summary a quality product fitted by a whole team of true professionals. R. Nutley.
