How it started vs How it is now.

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the opening of TIQI in Bevan Street East, Lowestoft.

There have been a lot of changes in the past 3 years, including:
• Opening a 2nd location at 167 London Road South, Lowestoft.
• Expanding our reach by selling online, with a number of items going as far afield as Los Angeles, Sweden and even Australia.

We continue to explore different means of bringing quality and great value to our customers, whether they be local, just visiting, or from other parts of the country, or even abroad. One thing’s for certain, you can always be assured that whatever we have in store, whether it be furniture, accessories, antiques, collectibles, etc., it will all be 𝙌𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜!

Thank you to all the customers who have visited us or contacted us over the past 3 years, we look forward to seeing or hearing from you again, and to all the new faces we hope to see soon.

Fast fashion fades. Finding something with character never does.

Shopping with an independent secondhand shop means more than just saving money — it’s about discovering one-off pieces, reducing waste, and supporting real people behind small businesses. Every purchase gives quality items a second life and helps keep local high streets interesting, personal and full of character.

Better for your wardrobe. Better for the planet. Better for your community.

For sale is this beautiful vintage Chinese altar cabinet, finished in a rich, striking red lacquer.

This piece is authenticated by the Yangzhou Lacquerware Factory stickers, ensuring its heritage and craftsmanship. The cabinet features a traditional "altar" style top with raised ends, providing a dramatic silhouette.

The front of the cabinet is adorned with hand-applied soapstone inlays depicting traditional figures in a garden setting, accented by delicate gold-leaf style hand-painted borders. The top and sides are further decorated with vibrant bird and floral motifs, showcasing a high level of artistic detail.

For storage, the unit includes:
• Two smooth-sliding drawers with decorative brass circular pulls.
• A spacious double-door cupboard area, perfect for tucking away household items.
• Black lacquered interior, providing a clean and stark contrast to the red exterior.

While the piece remains structurally sound and visually impressive, it does show light signs of wear consistent with age, including minor surface scuffs and small chips to the lacquer, which only add to its authentic vintage character.

Priced at £197, you need to view to fully appreciate this stunning piece. Pop into TIQI on Bevan Street East, Lowestoft NR32 2AA any time Mon - Sat 10-4 (other times available by prior arrangement).
