‘A quirky name for a quirky shop’ Tim Wonnacott, Antiques Road Trip.

3 Legged Duck was on Antiques Road Trip in September 2021. It was great fun having the film crew here for the day and yes we really did do the deal!

With 3 Legged Duck you can create a home filled with art, treasure and soul.

My name is Clare Flynn- I am 3LD’s founder and Creative Director. As a result of my museum exhibition design experience I create museum-like spaces punctuated with character. Objects with a story to tell, and quality handmade creations because I believe they are treasured and are the antiques of the future.

Explore the 3LD blog to discover the many aspects of a museum design inspired home. Find tips on creating a quirky interior design style home and learn more about my latest museum design projects.

This is a collection of curious, beautiful and eclectic objects. Anything from Arts and Crafts, Deco, Victorian, mid-century modern, antique Chinese and Japanese, Scandinavian, barge-ware, folk-art, African art- the list is endless.

I quite simply buy what I love. This is because it is the emotional connection to items that makes me want to own them. My home is filled with things which are special to me and bring me enjoyment. Our homes are a reflection of what is unique about each and everyone of us.

3 Legged Duck interior design shop online and in Rhayader, Powys exists through my passion for collecting wonderful, interesting and unexpected things. You might just like some of them too!

  • SOLD Granite soap dish made from granite featuring a painted metal seagull. This is a quirky dish for your soap, bits and bob or jewellery.
  • SOLD These toy ducks are a 1970s tin toy. Clockwork action no longer working- but it is a fab eye-catching and fun little ornament.
  • This beautifully turned wooden stupa was probably made for the souvenir market opens to reveal a small well. A stupa is a structure in a Buddhist temple that contains religious relics.
  • SOLD This carved horn bird sculpture is a quirky little fella with fantastically beady eyes! Display him with other oddities- in particular other created animals. His long beak is great for pointing at items in your room that you want to draw attention to. Price includes UK mainland postage.
  • SOLD This brass bell is very loud and causes a ripple of laughter whenever it is pressed in the Rhayader shop. It's hard to resist- you just have to press it. I like the used look with dull brass for this one- this bell has been dinged many times! Wouldn't take much effort though to bring it back to a see yourself finish. Price includes UK mainland delivery.
  • By Mark Cockram, Studio 5 Book Arts, London Never Mind The E Books Here’s The Real Thing handmade notebook. Inspired by the fanzines and music (of my youth) from the 1970’s and 80’s these individually hand bound note books take a swing at the soulless ebooks. Bound in book cloth (not plastic coated paper made to look like cloth) and prints from the original art work, these books are meant to be used. The text block paper is lined 70gsm, section sewn (with thread). Collaged Note Books. Hand bound note books in book cloth (not plastic coated paper made to look like cloth) and unique hand collaged art work makes for a book that is as unique as its owner.

No two books will be the same. The text block paper is lined 70gsm, section sewn (with thread). Check out Mark's latest work: Studio 5 Book Arts Green and orange books are also available.
