Antique, Vintage and Contemporary pre-owned pieces are by their very nature 'Green' - and finding new homes for these quality pieces, to be appreciated for many more years to come, is what Derby Collectables is most proud of. We source our collections locally and use local services to support our business wherever possible and we use recycled materials where appropriate. Mr Clapcott has spent the past nine months conceiving the Made in Derby project, designing the various features and executing it so now all that remains is to uncover the 1.2 square metre plaques, currently under wraps in the two Derby streets.
