From the 23rd of July until the 9th of August I will be leaving the running of Ebury Trading in the very capable hands of Christine Power. The shop will be open from 10am till 6pm as usual but we continue to stay closed at weekends. . .
During this time I will be free from the internet and the cares of this world whilst I stay in various monasteries in lower Germany and Austria. I might succumb to temptation however and sneak out to look for new stock!
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to speak to Chrissie with any queries.

An exciting new project this month has been the development of a new ‘Photography’ section to our website. These are all taken by up and coming young photographer Giorgio Giussani. Italian born Giorgio, who lives in London has been for many years involved in various areas of design, but is increasingly developing his talent for photography using many different types of camera (some obsolete) and using his own distinctive eye, capturing wonderfully surreal and iconic shots during his random travels.
These photographs are being made available to Ebury Trading as a limited edition and at present we offer three distinct sizes of:
41 x 41 cm
51 x 51 cm
76 x 76 cm
These are currently unframed, so that they can be personalised by way of framing and mounting according to taste.
The idea is that they will make excellent and innovative use of wall space as groups of say four or six.
Please contact us for further details.
