Happy New Year!

You know the drill.  Now is the perfect time to clean up.  Don't put one new thing away without taking something else out.  Edit, edit and then edit again. 

Remember it is not about quantity--it is about quality.  Cheap is cheap for a reason.  A set of wooden blocks will last several life times; a plastic play set will be trashed in a year or so.  Same goes for furniture.  The cheap stuff will need to be replaced; something good will last for generations.

You've earned yourself a trip to British Cottage.  You don't buy knock off handbags--so why would you buy knock off furniture? See real wood, one-of-a-kind vintage items, comfy couches and chairs, fabulous maps and prints and lighting.  See the things that make your

house a home.

"Maybe the best furniture store in New Jersey!"

         Whoever thought you would find such fabulous furniture                                in Red Bank, New Jersey?  Antique and reproduction pine and hardwood dining tables, hutches, chests of drawers and cupboards.  Whether it is our design, antique, or a bench made reproduction, our furniture is one-of-a-kind, made one-at-a-time...So before you opt for the PB or RH special of the day visit us first.Our couches are about the same price but made in the USA with hardwood frames that have a lifetime warranty and you get to chose whether you want slipcovers or upholstery.      Our tables are all solid wood, not veneers, and all our lamps and accessories are meant to be enjoyed for generations--not thrown out after one season.  We are never trendy;  in fact we adore the classics--oversized chandeliers, farmhouse tables, painted furniture and beautiful lamps.   We want our things to be beautiful and functional.

Featured table of the week: Love that raw wood look but hate splinters?  Come see our 108" trestle table innatural maple. (Also available in 8' and 7')  Decorative enough for thedining room, sturdy enough to take on kitchen duty, large enough for thewhole family to enjoy. ******Need a couch?We're loving linen slipcovers and ruffled skirts but you can chose what you like...denims, patterns, velvets, more tailored, legs...or you can upholster. 

  At British Cottage, we make our own beds.  Made to blend in with our antique pieces--or yours--or match up exactly with the bench made chests of drawers and nightstands from our factory in   Hungary.  Our beds now have proper bedding...look at how beautiful this linen duvet cover and shams from a small company in California makes our bed look.  You won't find this at Home Goods!

 Possibly because we spent over twenty years buying container loads of antique

European furniture, at British Cottage we are really good

at finding the newly made items that are unique and special--before they get

 copied and mass produced by the big chain stores and catalogues.   Whether traveling in England or on the continent or at market in North Carolina it is the classic style of weathered wood and handmade construction that appeals to us.  While we miss the absolute uniqueness of an antique piece, we appreciate the stability, functionality and pricing that comes with new furniture.

We like to think we are selling the antiques of tomorrow. 

You won't be sorry you took the time to visit British Cottage and see things

that are not mass produced, catalogued and available everywhere else...

You'll love our lamps,

marvel at our mirrors and be wowed by our selection of vintage prints and photographs.
