Gwilym started trading in his early twenties, at a time when The Old Cinema was primarily known for Victoriana, but was in the midst of transition.

He played an important role in helping the store diversify, blending early Heals' design with a range of 20th Century lighting.

In between long road trips sourcing in Europe, Gwilym studied his favourite lighting makers, from Venini to Mazzega, Doria to Peill & Putzler.

His appreciation for glass workmanship has brought a series of stunning pendants, table and floor lamps to our inventory.
