Buying at a distance

Buying from Caernarfon, one question at a time

  1. 01

    Find the piece

    Browse the collection here by form, or tell Sara what you are looking for if it is not shown.

    Stock is one-off. A piece photographed here may since have sold.

  2. 02

    Ask Sara

    Use the enquiry slip or call. Ask about photographs, measurements, condition and what is known of its age and history.

    Ask about the parts you can't see: backs, drawer runners, the underside.

  3. 03

    Talk through viewing and delivery

    Life: Full Colour is based in Caernarfon. Whether a piece can be viewed, and how it could reach you, are questions for Sara about that piece.

    Nothing is assumed. Ask before you plan a journey.

  4. 04

    Buy through Creative Caernarfon

    The purchase itself completes on Creative Caernarfon.

    This site takes enquiries only. No payment is taken here.

Questions

About the town guides

No. Life: Full Colour is in Caernarfon, North Wales, and has no branch, showroom or stock anywhere else. The area pages are guides for buyers in those towns.

Because buyers in Cheshire, the Wirral, Chester and South Manchester look for Welsh and period furniture online. Each town page covers its houses, the forms that suit them and how buying from Caernarfon works.

Delivery is not a fixed service. Ask Sara about the specific piece and your address and she can tell you what is possible.

It does not matter. The way of buying is the same from anywhere: find a piece, ask Sara on 01286 400155 or by the form, and buy through Creative Caernarfon.

Thirty-nine, across Cheshire, the Wirral, Chester and South Manchester. Each is a guide for buyers in that town, not a local branch, and the list is not a promise of any particular service in a town.

On this page the towns sit in six groups: Chester and around, the Dee side of the Wirral, the Wirral and Merseyside, Cheshire market towns, Alderley Edge to Bowdon, and South Manchester and Stockport.

The houses in that town, which forms tend to suit them, and how buying from Caernarfon works, with a few questions specific to that town. No prices appear on the guides, because price is a question for Sara about the specific piece.

The collection catalogues furniture by form, period and timber. A town guide is about the houses in one town, the forms that tend to suit them and what to measure first. Use the guide to get started and the collection to look at the forms.

Start with the piece's overall height against your ceiling, cornice included, then its width and depth against the wall it is going on. For a dresser that separates, ask for the height of the base on its own too, for doorways and stair turns.

Ask Sara directly, by phone or through the enquiry form. Say what you are looking for and the space it has to fit, and she can answer for the piece or form you have in mind.
