Vintage & Mid Century House Clearance in Devon, Somerset & Cornwall | May Trading House

If you are looking for a specialist house clearance service for vintage, retro and mid century antique furniture, May Trading House is here to help. This is not a traditional house clearance where everything is removed in bulk. Instead, May Trading House offers a focused, specialist service dedicated to identifying, valuing and purchasing high quality, desirable mid century furniture pieces, particularly iconic British and Scandinavian makers that are in demand with collectors and interior designers.

I personally carry out house clearances for vintage and mid century furniture through May Trading House across Devon, Somerset and Cornwall, specialising in well known names such as G Plan, Nathan, McIntosh, Ercol, Morris of Glasgow, Avalon and Austinsuite. If you have a teak sideboard, a classic display cabinet, a set of mid century drawers, a retro drinks cabinet or any other good quality saleable item, I will come to your home and professionally make you an offer for each piece.

Unlike a standard house clearance company, May Trading House focuses on the furniture itself. Many people searching for a “house clearance” are actually looking for someone knowledgeable to deal with a few valuable vintage items, rather than clearing an entire property. Using the term house clearance helps connect with those people, but the service offered by May Trading House is very different. This is a specialist vintage furniture house clearance, designed for people who want their mid century pieces recognised, respected and fairly valued.

Mid century modern furniture from brands like G Plan, Nathan and McIntosh has seen a huge rise in popularity. Original sideboards, display cabinets, chest of drawers, wardrobes, dining tables and chairs from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s are now highly sought after. Ercol furniture in particular, including Windsor dining sets, sideboards and coffee tables, continues to perform extremely well. Morris of Glasgow, Avalon and Austinsuite pieces are also increasingly desirable, especially when in good original condition. May Trading House actively seeks out these pieces as part of its specialist house clearance service.

If you are dealing with an estate, downsizing, moving house, or simply clearing space, a specialist vintage house clearance with May Trading House can be the easiest and most rewarding solution. I will personally visit your property, assess the furniture, explain what is saleable, and make you a clear, honest offer. There is no pressure, no obligation and no confusing jargon. Just straightforward advice and a fair price for the pieces that have value.

Rather than removing everything, I selectively purchase the best pieces, ensuring they go on to be enjoyed for another generation.

I will personally come to your house, take the time to look at each item properly, and make a professional offer based on current market demand.
