The Workers Cottage

The Workers Cottage is a vintage and antiques shop founded by Chrissy Irvine, based in Nelson, New Zealand. It offers a thoughtfully curated collection of vintage and antique pieces, with new arrivals available through its online store and a physical shop at Bridge Street Studios, 123 Bridge Street. The Nelson store is open by appointment.

Its range spans furniture, lighting, art and mirrors, entertaining pieces, vessels, curiosities and candlelight. Shoppers may find items such as brass candlesticks, glassware, studio pottery, decorative objects, rugs, mirrors and vintage furniture. Gift certificates are also available, and the store’s archive and journal provide additional ways to explore its offerings.

The Workers Cottage ships within New Zealand, with local Nelson pickup available. Orders are packed using heavy-duty methods, including double-boxing for fragile items, with recycled and plastic-free materials prioritised where possible. Oversized items and furniture require a custom delivery quote, while customers in Australia can enquire about shipping costs.
