About China and Co

It's been a busy few years since Liz and Nick took over China and Co in 2016.

Since then Liz has been ploughing her 20 years of prop styling and buying knowledge into our range, developing its style and bringing new life and energy to the current collection. New shelves and corners are constantly being found/put up to home new treasures.

"I am passionate about props and love scouring the country and further a field for antiques and vintage props, finding new exciting scenic artists to work with and commissioning talented ceramicists to expand our modern contemporary section. I am constantly hunting for new events, trade fairs and hidden markets to keep 'China' current". Liz

Nick adds a touch of class to the prop world, unnervingly handsome and highly entertaining, he'll soon have you laughing your arse off and wishing you had more of him in your life. And that's not all, his business acumen is unrivalled, he bakes, can bench press 250 kgs and is the ultimate problem solver. What's not to love, he's one hell of a guy.
