We at Papa Theo believe in building trusting relationships with our skilled wood carvers in Bali, Indonesia. We contribute to the community as well as sourcing our packing materials and having our brochures printed locally.

There is no fair trade mark or label yet developed for furniture products and limited guidelines to follow, so we create our own principles based on a trusting relationship and our ethos as a company.

As of 28th August 2009 we are very please to introduce free shipping on all our product lines. We have been asked many times for this and now we are in the position to offer our distinctive range of hand carved furniture not only at a reasonable price but with free delivery.

Here at Papatheo we take your personal security and the security of our systems very seriously. Periodically we engage outside security consultants to review our servers and systems and check they comply with PCI DSS security requirements.

We are delighted to announce, that once again we fully comply with all the requirements of PCI DSS, Visa CISP, MasterCard SDP, American Express DSS, and Discover Card programs. For full details please take a look at our PCI DSS site certificate.

From 25th March 2009 through to 10th April 2009 Both Minette and I will be away in Bali, Indonesia for one of our extended visits to our workshop and factory. This is a great time for us to interact with our craft men and women and talk about new ideas we have for new products.

There are many different options for lighting a house, but most of them involve a lot of work. For example, installing track lighting, fluorescent lighting, recessed lighting, or any other similar options is difficult. Unless you are good with your hands and have the money and time to invest, you want to avoid it.

After all, what looks worse than a hacked together lighting job?

Here at Papa Theo we believe strongly in going out and meeting our customers and clients. This is why we attend the antique fairs and collectors fairs as often as we can. We usually have a lovely stall set up at the fairs showing some of our reproduction antiques.

This week we are at the Ardingly Antiques and collectors fair at Ardingly Showground. Drop by and pay us a visit, stop for a chat and have a browse around. We will be delighted to see you.

Papa Theo was recently featured on the popular ITV show "60 Minute Makeover", where our console table was used as the centrepiece in the master bedroom of the semi-detached house in Thame.

The Telegraph recently featured an interesting article The Room Planners, which gives some useful advice on selecting mirrors.
