Mersey Repurposing and Antiques is home to a family-run upcycling initiative based in New Brighton. The service was created to provide modern solutions to transform antiques into something useable and new, a personalised gift that extends their use and value into the future. Our business model is highly ecologically friendly and everything we make comes with our personal guarantee that, wherever possible, all parts are recycled. Please enjoy browsing our shop and home page to see what we are about a little more.
SERVICES
- Designing fun, repurposed items and gifts from upcycled antiques and unused objects that would otherwise end up rotting in landfill.
- Offering a selection of antique items that remain unchanged, which can be found in the shop and purchased.
- Providing an individual and personal service for each of our project sales. Many of our gifts are bespoke and, alongside being made to order, can be customised.
Our Beginnings:
MR started up after a family loss which forced us to take a new perspective on items that were old but no longer used. Instead of having a house clearance, we decided to improve and upcycle through a modern, ecologically friendly lens. This breathed new life into much loved pieces and increased the value of objects that were in desperate need of renovation. Each of the items we sell have been carefully researched as we did not want to damage or change pieces that have historical significance in their current state. We regularly post unusual or interesting items on our Facebook page or right here on the Mersey Repurposing and Antiques home page.
As we are a small, family-run business, at the moment our projects are relatively small scale and we cannot cater to extremely large custom orders. However, we pride ourselves on the quality of our finished products and are pleased to offer a highly refined and fully personalised final product.
Mersey Repurposing Telephones:
One of the many types of repurposed items we offer is antique telephones rewired for VoiP. These are fully customisable and made to order with Arduino circuits. To learn more about these and other interesting projects, please see our projects page.
