SARA KIRKBY

As an architectural designer I can say Sara is truly an exception in her industry. I love being able to not find her work in places where I know it is installed and that is I think the best advert of all for her quality when creating authentic replicas, to be in perfect harmony with the spaces they sit in. The only time I have been able to spot her handiwork was by startling surprise in a restaurant in an historic building in Berkshire, where again her product was seamless including over a stripped-to-brick wall that couldn't have maintained an original so perfectly with the rest of the room. So I had to take a picture and have my suspicions confirmed by Sara. Sara Kirkby products will always be my first recommendation to clients because they're so versatile, they make the ultimate in authentic traditional spaces or can add that perfect layer of sophistication to a contemporary setting.

I bought two Florian pelmets from Sara Kirkby for my living room - the windows have now become the main feature of the room, which is great, since I spent a fortune on the curtain fabric from Lelievre! The pelmets were finished in Little Greene’s Salix to match the ceiling, but with a soft antiquing glaze, and they look amazing!

Over the past year, I have bought a number of items from the Sara Kirkby website - mirrors, sconces and decorative bits - and I am always delighted with the excellent quality and the authentic look of the pieces. Friends have even occasionally mistaken the mirrors for original antiques and I've yet to put them straight! In fact, if you want to introduce a bit of 'period' character into your home, look no further and the nice thing is her pieces do the job without carrying a huge price tag! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company, not only for its amazing products, but also for their professionalism and really friendly service.

I was thrilled when I found Sara's website which had many products that I was hoping to use in a recent property renovation. The mirrors and pelmets are finished beautifully and are perfect for recreating a period look. The detailing on them is second to none. Sara also offers various different colours and finishes, in fact, pretty much whatever you want!! Lead-times and customer service are absolutely spot on! I absolutely LOVE the products and will be using her again on my next property.

We commissioned a large mirror frame from this company and were so pleased we added another items to our order. I have to say how delighted we were with the service from start to finish. Sarah is very helpful and professional, she has an insight into decorating that is helpful to us novices. We are now planning to maybe do a couple of bed heads and a sideboard for our hallway. The reason I approached them in the first place was because they had done some impressive work in one of the Knightsbridge cocktail bar and restaurants I go to.
