Most of the things we offer at Mercer are ‘one-offs’.
We can offer similar, but rarely the same. That makes my job interesting, the shop looks different from any other and ensures your personal collection won’t be like any one else’s. It also means it would be impossible to offer these treasures for sale on the internet.
Mercer offers a comprehensive collection of textiles for the home. Throws, quilts, cushions and bolsters, rugs, table cloths and napkins to name a few. We also offer antique furniture, tribal art, contemporary British ceramics, hand - made paper products, silver jewellery, costume jewellery, lamps and light shades. Oh, and so very much more!
We offer a selection of hand block printed designs. Originally for local and Royal consumption, block printing on silk and cotton now has an international market. Each celebrates the immense amount of work which goes into their production, though some are contemporary designs, others are
traditional and virtually unchanged for centuries.
We encourage our customers to appreciate
works of everyday life in India.
Touching and
holding a piece of intricate work
helps one grasp
a feeling for the colossal
amount of energy and
care which goes
into hand made work.
To compliment our textiles,
we
collect
contemporary ceramics
from
across the UK
