Not only do we love what we do, we also love to talk about it! Here are some of the news, views and reviews that we just couldn’t keep to ourselves.
We’ve grown! We’ve been busy here at Farley HQ and have spread our already massive prop collection across another building so we’re now 25% percent bigger than before and have 100,000 square feet of showroom space packed to the gills with furniture, smalls, artwork, lighting and diningware for hire.
Welcome to the Farley website! We’d like to think that we’ve created a intuitive and user friendly website but there’s never any harm in giving a few extra pointers here and there so that you can really get the most out of the site. There are some great features and we’d hate for you to miss them so here’s a quick guide to the most important ones.
Trying to choose which beautiful images to use in our galleries was a tricky task. We think we’ve put together a selection that shows the range of our collection and the multitude of ways in which the individual pieces can be used. We couldn’t have done this without the help of the talented photographers that we’ve worked with over the years. Here’s a run down of the individuals and teams that have made up the bulk of our gallery images. As our stock evolves, so do our images, and no doubt new faces will be added, so check back if you want to know more.
With the largest collection of oil paintings, prints, watercolours, abstracts, engravings and sculptures, our Spiller department is one of the finest collections of art outside of a gallery (in our humble opinion!), and better yet, everything’s available to hire. Storing the collection and then finding particular pieces is a challenge but we think we’ve cracked it.
We had this video made as a little documentary about us. It ended up being more about the props themselves. This is a 3 minute trailer for the real thing, which is a half hour long.
We see a lot of clients come in and out the door with mobiles glued firmly in hand, and over the years we’ve picked up a few handy technological tips and tricks from our talented buyers that can help make prop sourcing a little easier.
So if you are a prop buyer, events planner or even an interior designer – here are four mobile apps that we highly recommend. I’ve listed them below with a short description, along with some pro’s and con’s.
I’ve been working at Farley for about 5 months now – and one of the most common things I get told by first-time visitors is how lucky I am to have a ‘museum’ as an office.
Because, while plenty of other prop hire companies still retain that ‘warehouse’ impression, Farley has managed to combine an antique prop hiring business with the atmosphere of a must-see museum; and here are five reasons why.
