Honoring the Past, Curating for the Future
Our journey into antiques and vintage décor began over 30 years ago, when we met in our early 20s. We spent many weekends exploring auction houses, markets and estate sales—slowly building what is now a large collection of specialist antiquarian prints.
Craig’s background in printing and publishing runs deep—having taken over his family’s traditional print business, where he gained firsthand expertise in historic printing techniques, lithography, and fine art reproduction. That foundation, combined with our shared love for antique books, vintage illustrations, maps and rare ephemera, led to the creation of Room Four.
In 2024, we made the decision to focus on paper-based treasures - a world we believe deserves more appreciation. Our collection includes hand coloured engravings, beautiful antique litho prints, fascinating maps and rare books, each piece sourced from trade contacts, private collections and institutions throughout the UK.
But our work doesn’t stop there—in order to make our finds more accessible to everyone, we spend months digitising, restoring and meticulously preparing our rare designs for reproduction. Every print is carefully cleaned and enhanced to ensure it retains its historical integrity, then transformed into museum-quality art prints. To guarantee the highest standard, we have partnered with a London-based, family-run print studio, where each piece is produced using quality papers and long-lasting pigment inks.
