Herrods is over for another year, it's door has closed for the final time.


Thanks to everyone that visited the best (and probably only) art junk shop of 2013. Whether you were appalled, amused, intrigued, disinterested or amazed? always remember the Herrods motto 'Melius mihi hedum potest pingere' (bearing in mind the Herrods copywriter doesn't know the first thing about Latin).


Much gratitude has to go to Dave at Junk&Gems as well, for his leap of faith, sense of humour and hard work.


Here's a few photos of the final days...


Neogeometrist Carl Cashman's hand painted vase sold before it was even on it's display plinth. Watch out for him in 2014, he's got a full year planned with several group shows and a solo show in the US.

Carrie Reichardt, the self-proclaimed renegade potter, was a hot seller this year. And with her exhibiting at the V&A in 2014 she's giving those Romans a good run for their mosaic money.

Didn't want to disappoint... the official Herrods seedy sweat shop just delivered some samples.

No mugs I'm afraid, apart from me, but here's one I produced to celebrate Queenies Diamond Jubilee.

    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
