Sugden and Daughters is a decorative antiques and interiors business rooted in character, use, and atmosphere.
The collection is shaped by how things live in a room rather than how they appear in isolation. Pieces are chosen for their surface, scale and presence, and for the way they sit alongside one another over time. Nothing is selected to fill space. Everything is expected to earn its place.
Based in a small early eighteenth-century cottage in Norfolk, Sugden and Daughters works with antiques that feel settled and useful. Furniture, ceramics, lighting and objects that bring weight, warmth and a sense of continuity to an interior. The emphasis is on patina, proportion and restraint, rather than trend or decoration.
The aim is not to recreate a period, but to create rooms that feel composed, lived with, and quietly confident. Interiors that improve with use. Objects that belong.
Sugden and Daughters is run by Louisa Sugden, who has lived with antiques for most of her adult life.
Her approach is instinctive rather than academic, shaped by years of arranging, using and noticing objects in real rooms. Pieces are sourced with an eye for how they will function day to day, how they will wear, and how they will sit alongside existing interiors rather than dominate them.
Louisa works closely with interior designers as well as private clients, and understands the practical demands of designing with antiques. Scale matters. Condition matters. So does knowing when to leave things alone.
Everything sold by Sugden and Daughters is photographed and considered in situ, in a lived-in house rather than a studio setting. This is deliberate. It reflects a belief that the most successful interiors are built slowly, with judgement, and with an understanding of how objects behave over time.
