About Wand Vintage
A passion for vintage. A head for research.
Meet Wand Vintage
I’m Charlie – vintage hunter, ex-research academic, and a believer in the beauty of the everyday. What started as a personal collection grew into a calling: to help others create homes filled with character, texture, and quiet charm.
I've always loved collecting decor that brings me joy. That's why, as Wand Vintage, I've made a space where I can curate and research everything I love, every day.
From vintage mirrors and practical ceramics to beautiful glass vases and mid-century lighting, every item is found, felt, and chosen with care. We’re based in Exeter, Devon, and ship across the UK.
Each object has been loved before—and is ready to be loved again.
Vintage treasures in Exeter
We've opened the doors to Wand Vintage on Gandy Street in Exeter.
Come on up
You'll find us tucked away above Queens Walk, a slow-shopping haven above the bustle of Gandy Street.
Come in for a browse, take your time, and get to know these old objects. We'll be happy to answer your questions or give you ideas for the perfect purchase - no hard sell, just connection and curation.

Our mission
Wand Vintage Interiors exists to celebrate the value of the past in the context of today. By curating unique, sustainable décor with history, heritage and soul, we create a platform for objects to be loved over and over again. We stand against the culture of disposable design, championing craftsmanship, character, and the human stories behind every piece.
Sustainability
We believe that beautiful interiors shouldn’t cost the earth. Every piece we sell is a step towards a more thoughtful, less wasteful future, prioritising reclaimed and long-lived décor over fast, forgettable trends.
Heritage
We honour the stories, makers, and materials of the past. Each item we curate carries a sense of time, place, and purpose that adds richness to the present.
Character
We celebrate imperfections. The patina, the wear, and the age give an object its soul. Our pieces aren’t perfect; they’re personal.
Curation
We love to share the “how,” “what,” and “why” of the objects we sell. Through storytelling, context, and conversation, we make history part of everyday life.
Chosen carefully. Researched thoughtfully.
Our values
I truly believe the best homes aren’t styled. With a few key themes, your space can come to life as a curated chaos of the items that call to you.
I know this because that's how I do it.
A chipped glaze can be just as beautiful as a polished one. Old things have something to say. And sustainability begins with what already exists.
Giving new life to old objects is a joy. I hope you share it.
Your style in our hands.
What We Offer
From mid-century glass and studio pottery to vintage mirrors, art, and one-off treasures, our shop is full of pieces you didn’t know you were looking for, but suddenly can’t imagine your home without.
You’ll find us online, at vintage fairs across the South West, and soon in our first bricks-and-mortar shop in Exeter.
For the everyday to the seriously special.
