Selling a cap in High Wycombe
High Wycombe was the furniture-making capital of the country — chair making in particular, using beech from the Chiltern woods around it — and the trade is still part of the town’s identity. It sits in a steep valley on the corridor into the capital.
The furniture-making history means genuinely good older chairs and tables circulate here as ordinary business. Commuter households move with jobs in the capital, and the university campus adds a student cycle.
The town is in a narrow valley and the sides are steep, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. The station and the centre are easy to reach.
On older chairs and tables, check the joints and any repairs rather than the finish. This town made furniture for a century and genuinely good pieces circulate, but so do bad repairs.
High Wycombe, in England, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
