Welcome to Dovetail Vintage Co - About Us
Welcome to Dovetail Vintage Co, your destination for timeless, vintage country cottage furniture nestled in the charming village of Beckington, near Frome. Founded by Mel Bowen and Ali Stokes, our shop is a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the joy of home.



Mel's passion for interiors blossomed at a young age, inspired by her father’s work as a village estate agent and her love for rearranging her bedroom. This early fascination led her to a career in visual merchandising, where she honed her eye for sourcing unique pieces that tell a story. Ali, a skilled woodworker, brings his expertise in renovation and bespoke creations, transforming old treasures into modern marvels.
Housed in a beautifully restored stone barn, Dovetail Vintage Co is a treasure trove of brocante-style furniture, soft furnishings, and carefully curated embellishments. Each piece in our collection is thoughtfully displayed, inviting you to envision how it might enhance your own home. From floral crockery to vintage glassware, we aim to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you can find inspiration and make lasting memories.



We believe that every piece of furniture has a story to tell, and our mission is to preserve and share those stories with our clients. Whether you're searching for a statement piece or a subtle accent, we’re here to help you find something truly special. At Dovetail Vintage Co, every day feels like Christmas as we discover new treasures and pass that excitement on to you.
Join us in celebrating the beauty of vintage furniture and the joy of creating a home filled with character and charm. We can't wait to welcome you to our shop!
