Magna Carta 1215 - 2015

This summer will hopefully be a really busy one in Salisbury as we join in the Magna Carta 800 celebrations. Casa Fina has comissioned its very own Magna Carta mugs, hand made in Stoke on Trent. The mugs are £11.95 and will be a useful and attractive reminder of the year that Salisbury was at #7 in the 'Lonely Planet Best Places to Visit' list.

Olivia Earl Clocks

Our new Olivia Earl range is proving to be very popular both as a finishing touch to a newly decorated room and for special gifts. What could be a better present for a girl of any age than a clock ringed with Swarovski crystals? The range comes in two shapes - flat for the wall and a block for standing. There are many colours available across the Farrow & Ball paint rainbow.

Max Benjamin Home Fragrance

Our new home fragrance collection is from Max Benjamin. Orla Van den Bergh learned the techniques of blending aroma oils and plant waxes in the 1990s and started hosting candle parties to test them out on her friends. Since then the company has grown and now supplies the most select stores in Ireland and around the world - hence their appearance in Casa Fina!

A 190g candle is £19.95, candle tin £13.95, diffuser £27.99

Vintage notes - May

As many of you know we now have a few vintage pieces that are for sale in the shop. These items are all examples of great design and manufacture from Ercol to Limoges and are also a reminder of some of the lost skills of our china and glass industries. 

We have a set of 4 tea plates made by New Chelsea for Thomas Goode, hand decorated and signed by James Hodgkiss. He was art director and designer at Wedgewood and then New Chelsea in the early 20th Century. Decorators served a 7 year apprenticeship and learnt all aspects painting, guilding and decorating. Each is a work of art.
