We love being based in Poundbury and recently did a little research into our local area.

So here are some Poundbury facts to share with you…

⭐ Poundbury has a strong connection to the Royal Family, as it is the brainchild of King Charles III (formerly the Prince of Wales)
⭐ Poundbury has also welcomed several Royal visits over the years, with King Charles frequently checking on its progress. The late Queen Elizabeth II also visited in 1998 to officially open Queen Mother Square,
⭐ Construction of Poundbury started in October 1993
⭐ Poundbury's road names commemorate engagements in which the Dorset Regiment fought
⭐ Poundbury is located on 400 acres of land on the western outskirts of Dorchester
⭐ The design of Poundbury was led by Léon Krier and is based on traditional architecture and New Urbanist philosophy
⭐ Poundbury's street layout is deliberately chaotic to slow traffic down

To our lovely locals, did you know these facts?

If you haven't visited Poundbury, you should! When you do, pop in and see us in Challacombe Square too!

Everyone needs a cosy corner in their home 🛋️✨ Antiques are the perfect way to create a warm and inviting space.

Here are our top tips to make a cosy space;

⭐ Layer Textures: Combine vintage fabrics, like soft quilts, wool throws, and plush cushions, to add warmth to furniture. A mix of textures can make a room feel extra cosy and lived-in.

⭐ Add Vintage Lighting: Antique lamps or chandeliers with warm-toned bulbs create a soft, welcoming glow. Look for unique pieces, like brass or glass fixtures, that bring character to your space.

⭐ Incorporate Old World Furniture: A well-loved vintage chair, weathered wood tables, or an antique sideboard to bring a sense of history and comfort. The rich patina of aged furniture adds a personal touch to your space.

⭐ Mix Old with New: Combine modern pieces with vintage finds to create contrast. A contemporary sofa paired with an antique coffee table or framed artwork can bring balance and personality.

⭐ Add Greenery: Vintage pots or vases filled with plants or flowers add life and colour to any corner. Plants help create a calming, inviting atmosphere.

⭐ Warm Colours: Choose vintage pieces with rich, earthy tones like deep reds, oranges, and browns. These colours create a sense of warmth and comfort.

⭐ Personal Touches: Incorporate family heirlooms or antique collectables with personal meanings. Whether a vintage book or an old trinket box, these items make a space feel more intimate.

Love has always found a way to leave its mark through the ages ❤️✨

Each era expressed romance in its own unique way, leaving behind tokens that speak volumes about the way people loved and connected. From intricately carved Victorian love tokens and sentimental lockets to handwritten letters sealed with wax and beautifully painted keepsakes, these treasures are a glimpse into timeless expressions of devotion.

Antiques like these don't just hold value—they carry the emotions, traditions, and stories of those who came before us. Imagine gifting a piece of history, like a love letter from the 19th century or a romantic trinket box that once held someone's most cherished keepsakes.

While times may change, love remains timeless. What gift would you love to receive this Valentine's Day? 🕊️🌹

Looking for a relaxing and memorable day out? Poundbury has it all – beautiful parks, cozy cafés, amazing independent shops, and plenty of spots to enjoy a delicious bite to eat.

Here’s how we’d spend the day in our little corner of Dorset!

☕ Now of course it would start with a good strong coffee! We can certainly recommend Bonjour Cafè, Finca Poundbury or The Potting Shed, all within walking distance from us!

🌳All of which you could sit in and enjoy, or take a stroll and grab some fresh air! Perhaps head towards The Great Field Poundbury where there is an expansive green area with a park.

🛍️ Alternatively, or as well as, you could pop into some beautiful independent stores and shop local… From Poundbury Antiques to LilyPups Dog Boutique, Cherryade Life Store to Gallery on the Square; or from YARD clothing to Boo’s Toy Store… there really is something for everyone!

Now of course by that time, it’s lunch time, right?

🍔Poundbury is bursting with delicious food! It’s SO hard to pick just a few favourites, but we love The Square Bistro, The Duchess of Poundbury and The Engine Room.

🌱Now, if you’re a ‘browser’ or a garden enthusiast, you’ve got to pop into Poundbury Garden Centre - bursting with green goodness!

🛀 If you’ve done enough walking for the day, head to Monart Spa Poundbury or The Sanctuary of Poundbury both of which are relaxing havens!

You’ll be sure to sleep well after all that!

Just make sure that somewhere in between all of that, you visit US, here at Poundbury Antiques 😆

See you soon!
