Open at last...more or less...

We've taken a bit longer than anticipated to get up and running on George Street...we think it's been worth the wait, hope you all agree!

Circus makes its way to George Street

Circus makes its way to George Street...

The second Circus location is on 382 George Street North and will be open mid-July

Partnering with Steve Francis, Circus is opening a second location at 382 George Street North where we are creating a space that is oriented to an industrial and mid-century vibe.


Meanwhile back at the little Aylmer shop...

A cool white window...

Look what the Easter bunny found...

We've been bouncing around, finding some great pieces.

We felt our hearts skip a beat when we found this 1920s medial cabinet from New York. This amazing cabinet in untouched original condition can be purchased as seen, or restored.

This beautiful original petite display cabinet was formally at home in a small Chateau in the outskirts of Paris.This C19th cabinet has all the original paint and patina of 150 years.




Here at Circus we pride ourselves on variety. The cool clean lines of these 'Steel Case' red vinyl chairs give such a splash of colour to any room.


We have a rare new entry. This small paneled cupboard, is in fact a child's bed room dresser. The wonderful blue paint and old steel door catches give this sweet French dresser such distinction.

Good-bye to February ...

Heaps of snow and freezer like conditions outside, but here at Circus the warm friendly environment never ends...

A little bit of something for everybody here
Our fun studio shop is full of intrigue and really worth making the visit

If you don't feel the groovy vibe from this image, you need barstools like these and a cocktail to match!

Let us put a splash of colour into your life ...

Fresh pickings from the proverbial apple tree ... 

Funky finds don't fall far from the tree
This great old work table was found in a barn outside of Montreal. Years of use give this table a unique raw and rough style of its own.
Here at Circus we love to do custom work – this could make a great kitchen island
A pair of citrus coloured Westclox clocks (made right here in Peterborough!) These little dandies keep time well and wake you up too!

Rare to find these  Fabiano Panzini  Solair vintage chairs dated 1979 – stamped with maker's name and patent number
If you like teak, we have a treat for you, side chairs, tray table and an array of candle holders. And this is the real Danish teak!

File with style at Circus...

This great multi-drawer chest just made our window. There are a multitude of ways it could be used including storing your favourite underwear...

This is a first class example of cabinet work, made in Toronto at the turn of the 20th Century.

Made of solid walnut, the cabinet has great dimensions,  36" wide by  47" high by 19" deep.
