Sourcing and Supplying

"I love to mix the old with the new"

All client sourcing requirements are different. Some rely on me to source individual and unique items such as a wall hanging or a rustic dining table and others require me to source the furnishings for whole properties including flooring, fabrics, curtain poles, ironmongery and lighting. 

I’m constantly on the look out for new, antique, vintage and handcrafted furniture pieces and accompanying decorative objects for my clients. This service saves clients valuable time and subject to negotiation on your behalf or trade discounts being in place with key suppliers, I may also be able to save you money too. 

Key benefits of this service

  • Saved time - searching for and acquiring items
  • Convenience - all items can be delivered together, when you want them
  • Expertise -  over 12 years professional buying experience
  • Cost saving - improvement on retail prices where possible
  • One invoice to pay - rather than settling with several suppliers yourself
  • Delivery - items can be delivered to Caroline Borgman Interiors for onward delivery at your convenience 

 

New Items

For all new furniture, furnishings, fittings and accessories I have a catalogue of trade resources and I will provide you with a full estimate including photos, prices and descriptions for each item sourced. Delivery charges are itemised separately subject to your requirements. 

Antique Items

I utilise a wide variety of established contacts across the UK and Europe:

  • Dealers, wholesalers, markets and independent shops - once I have sourced what you are looking for, I will send clear photos and descriptions, together with pricing details
  • Auctioneers - If I can find what you are looking for through a respected auctioneer I will discuss and agree a budget and clear pricing terms with you prior to bidding on your behalf. I will also provide you photographs of each item prior to your consent to proceed with bids on your behalf.

Bespoke Items

I also work with a small team of furniture makers, upholsterers and local artisans which means we can design and create a bespoke item of furniture, lighting, flooring or piece of art. If you have any ideas you would like to discuss, please get in touch
