The Architectural Forum
Nadine & Jason Davies
The Architectural Forum Ltd by Jason and Nadine Davies, was established in 1988 and has since strived to offer the best architectural antiques at a very competitive price. We are proud to offer honest, friendly advice and assistance, whatever you may be looking for.
At The Architectural Forum, we are very conscious of the importance of reclaiming and salvaging, and the positive impact on our global resources and environment. We believe it is imperative to reclaim, refurbish and reuse as much as possible, as this puts less pressure on resources and stops the items simply going to landfill. With our emphasis on refurbishing and restoring, we are proud to be preserving the valuable skills of yesteryear, and giving antique items a second life and a chance to be appreciated by future generations.
We have been involved in some pretty spectacular salvage jobs, including removals from the British Museum, Tate Britain, the Tower of London and several prestigious London houses. Jason, along with Ted, from our sister company V&V Reclamation, took part in the salvaging of architectural pieces from the Baltic Exchange which is now home to the Gherkin. This turned out to be the largest salvage of any building in Europe since the original London Bridge was sold to Arizona in 1967!
You may already be familiar with the Architectural Forum showroom, as it has had several TV and book appearances in the past few years. Our TV credits include Channel 4's Grand Designs and Kirstie's Handmade Homes, where Jason sold Kirstie some antique door knobs, and BBC2's The Reclaimers, where Nadine was seen selling Stella McCartney's spiral staircase.
Architectural Forum has also been featured in several books on architectural salvage and reclamation such as:
