Welcome to Arts Decoratifs – home of the beautiful, the unusual, the decorative and the unique.

No trip to Saffron Walden would be complete without a visit to this stylish and exclusive shop.  Nestled just off Market Hill behind the main square, Arts Decoratifs is not to be missed for seekers of beautiful vintage jewellery, glass, ceramics, ephemera and objects of vertu.

Superb quality, discerning taste, and a wide selection to suit most budgets are all hallmarks of Arts Decoratifs, which specialises in decorative arts from the 19th and 20th centuries, but is perhaps best known and acclaimed for its jewellery. 

The shop is also a mecca for stylists, prop buyers, re-enactment societies and theatrical groups – beautiful pieces have appeared, for example, on The Crown for Netflix.

Small, but perfectly formed, Arts Decoratifs is a veritable treasure trove of a large selection of wonderfully eclectic items that make unique and unusual gifts for others or for yourself.  Drawers pull open to reveal compacts, period buttons, elegant gloves, evening bags, vintage and costume pieces, brooches and pendants.  Small, desirable furniture items such as chairs, little tables, hat & stick stands and the like can also be found tucked away in the shop too.  Everything is carefully hand picked with the customer in mind.

Why not come and see for yourself?  You never know what you may find inside….

Opening Times:

Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday – 10 am – 3 pm.  Also by appointment.

(Closed, Sunday, Monday & Wednesday)
