Second Chance

Vintage goods, antique furniture, collectables and retro items.

OUR FIRST RETAIL STORE IS NOW OPEN!
Visit us at: Old Mill Antiques, 8 Wrigley Head, Failsworth, Manchester M35 9BL. AKA Empire House Antiques.

Second Chance is a labour of love for Justine and Jon. It was formed out of our joint passion for discovering beautiful, interesting and decorative objects. Vintage and antique items that have been unloved or unwanted, are brought back to life through a combination of re-imagination, restoration and re-telling of their story.

In simple terms, giving them a Second Chance in life and in turn, adding character and wonder to their new surroundings.

The site includes a selection of furniture, fashion, artwork, collectables, curios, kitchenalia and gardenalia.

If you share our love for vintage and interesting items from bygone ages, you will enjoy browsing our site, as we have a constantly evolving array of treasures.

Upcycled, restored and rejuvenated furniture and collectable items.

We are single minded in our approach; we only buy vintage and antique pieces that we both love. Pieces that would look beautiful in a home but equally within a commercial environment. For example, our school benches would be fantastic in a hotel reception, nursey or even a bar. Our mannequins would be fab in a salon or clothes shop, brass water urns in café or coffee shop. For all you estate agents out there, we also have a fabulous dolls house, a great window display.

Buy our vintage and antique collectables or let us source bespoke items for you

All the items on our site are for sale (apart from the sold section!) but in addition, we can source specific items for you, if you have a particular item in mind or a corner of a room that you aren’t sure how to maximise, or if you are business and are on the lookout for any specific memorabilia, just let us know and we ‘ll keep an eye out for you.
