Architectural Salvage and Antiques

Architectural salvage reaches back in time and repurposes forgotten, often industrial items into elegant and striking home design pieces. From cast-iron doors crafted by European blacksmiths to streetlamps uprooted from the streets of Victorian Auckland, salvaged antiques can be introduced into your home décor to give it a sense of depth and time. Here at Salvage Place, we unearth tomorrow’s treasures from yesterday’s trash to bring you a treasure trove of architectural antiques from all over the world. Bring a blast from the past back into your home and browse our range of architectural salvage below.

Architectural salvage is a catch-all term that refers to items that have been salvaged from old buildings that are set for demolition. These items can include anything, from the building’s interior or exterior, construction materials, or décor items. Just because it was meant to be thrown away does not mean it’s junk. People throw away the darndest things, and it has become a growing design trend to rescue these antique architectural items from demolition and repurpose them for modern homes.

From recycled brick to refinished doors, architectural salvage has become one of the hottest trends in modern home design. An architectural antique can be a star piece within your design, an item that will lend personality to the rest of the room and dictate the attitude of your entire design philosophy. These antique statement pieces will come with their own history; by incorporating these items, you are peeling off a piece of history and layering it over your design. This will give your space soul and a seasoned feel. Take the time to learn the story behind these items. At Salvage Place, we work to provide a detailed

history of our items so you know where they have come from. The history of these items may inspire other parts of the design that wouldn’t have been thought of otherwise.

Architectural salvage is becoming an increasingly popular field, and with that comes an increase in competition for these one-of-a-kind items. Sourcing architectural antiques has become a treasure hunt, and we have the map. Here at Salvage Place, we source unique antique pieces from across the globe and throughout New Zealand. You’re guaranteed to find something striking, historical, and distinctive here. Interested in one of our items and want to discuss it further?
