Whether you’re reading it by the beach or in the garden, our summer issue is just the thing to dip into from anywhere in the world, packed with travel insights. Take a tour of four beautiful properties, including an Amsterdam townhouse and a rustic French pad in the Cévennes, all filled with handicrafts and collectibles from near and far.
Discover the intriguing history of pearls, which never go out of fashion, and how to collect luggage. We also round up Europe’s ideal destinations for antiques hunting.
Next, find your favourite from our selection of six luxury train journeys – one even involves a Dior spa. At a slower pace, our guide to Bridport shows you the hotspots for antiquing, food and scenery in the popular Dorset town, and we review a Devon farmhouse stay.
As for homeware shopping, we’ve got you covered, with the best buys in butter yellow (this season’s it-colour), mastering maximalist style, and today’s makers keeping heritage crafts alive.
Plus, don’t miss insider auction insight and sales results, topped off by our listings calendar of antiques events around the UK and Northern Ireland. There are even some online options, so you can treasure hunt remotely from a holiday destination.
Enjoy a peep at what to look forward to in our Summer issue!
