ABOUT VAGABOND HOUSE

Vagabond House was founded in June of 1986: using antique silver tableware and transforming it into jewelry and table accents. The little-known company was purchased by the Haas and Hardy families in 2004, focusing exclusively on the tableware aspect.

While maintaining the highest quality standards of materials and a unique approach to design, the family expanded into pewter production shortly after the purchase. This wonderful metal allows our American designers to create to their heart's desires. This creativeness partnered with a team of truly gifted carvers, artisans and fabricators allow us to bring to life the many beautiful designs and collections that have grown Vagabond House into the global brand it is today.

ABOUT ARTHUR COURT

Mr. Arthur Court founded the company in 1966 with a focus on interior design. Our breakthrough came in the 1970s when we became the first company in the US to incorporate aluminum into our tabletop collections. Since then, Arthur Court Designs has remained a leader in the aluminum tableware and home decor industry.

Under the leadership of Creative Director Scott Haas, the company is developing revolutionary trends in dining and entertainment. Arthur Court Designs continues to transform the industry with our commitment to timeless style and everyday elegance.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

FAMILY VALUES

Three generations of our family work hand in hand every day to share our tableware with you and your family! Sharing our table and entertaining to us means coming together as a family, strengthen ties, and build meaningful relationships.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Our products are exclusively designed to be unique, functional heirlooms for those seeking to express tradition and style in family and formal entertainment. We invite you to count the suckers on each octopus tentacle; feel the veins running through the oak leaves.

HAND BLOWN ITALIAN GLASS: Luxurious, hand blown, crystal clear Italian glass crafted to perfection.

AMERICAN CHERRY WOOD: Cherry wood resists warping and cracking, making it an excellent choice in kitchens and bathrooms.

HIGH-QUALITY ALUMINUM: Our signature aluminum is handcrafted and sand-cast into unique shapes of detailed brilliance. Arthur Court Aluminum is Functional, durable and food-safe, our tableware never tarnishes and will not require polishing like silver.

UNIQUE DESIGNS INSPIRED BY NATURE

Unique and creative designs interpreted into functional tableware is what Vagabond House & Arthur Court is known for. Slender asparagus as handles on a tray, silvery leaves, and butterflies on a centerpiece, nuanced details adding flair to any table. Our collections are inspired by nature and our travels, the places we call home, and our family’s love for nature, celebration, tradition, and style. All of us at Vagabond Group appreciate fine and wondrous things. Our imaginations soar from our love of antiques gifted by our great-grandparents to the amazement we feel watching a butterfly move through our gardens. So many things are taken for granted; we try to slow down and experience all the remarkable detail this world has to offer.
