At Thomas and Lucia
we provide an eclectic mix of contemporary English country and French style furniture, accessories and gifts with a little touch of New England.
We have products for every room in the house, the conservatory and the garden.
We are passionate about what we do and we aim to do it to the highest standard.
Thomas and Lucia is named after co-owner Sue's great, great,
great grandparents. Thomas was a miller in Shropshire Lucia, his
wife, was named after her Italian grandmother.
We have searched extensively to bring you a mix of good quality, reasonably
priced products from English and European companies. From the quintessentially
English such as Shoeless Joe, Neptune and McLaggan Smith to stylish continental
suppliers such as Durance and House Doctor.
Sue is a qualified garden designer and horticulturist. She has run a
successful garden development and maintenance business to private homes in
Dorset and Hampshire. Matthew was a self employed IT Consultant and provided
services to both large and small companies. In 2007 they decided to
make a significant change of direction and work together, pool their respective
talents and open a high street shop in Christchurch Dorset. It is from there we
run and supply our online shop.
We are very keen on the feel and atmosphere that can be created by combining
furniture and accessories with plants and flowers. In our shop we are very
conscious of colours, height and form and what can be produced to increase the
drama by putting man made and natural products together in interesting ways. The
opening of our shop in June 2008 produced a significant ripple in the area and
we have had many lovely and positive comments from our customers since.
