About

Held Home

Held Home is a vintage homewares brand built on instinct, style, and a strong sense of what matters. Every item is hand-sourced by founder Jessica Francis—objects with history, beauty, and substance.

Jess started Held after renovating her first flat with her husband in Spain. She has spent time living in London, Barcelona and Sydney and after years working in both Interior and and Set design, her love of finding unique objects had always been brewing. Ceramics, frames, textiles, furniture with good bones.The thrill of the find. The joy of turning a space into something that feels like you.

Now based in Frome, she runs Held around life with her two young boys. It’s a business built with care, designed to grow at a pace that feels good. The pieces you see here aren’t filler. They’re not trend-led. They’re what she genuinely loves—and what she’d have in her own home.

"I truley belive a home can impact our entire wellbeing. Its the space we spend the majority of our time, and should feel completely personable to who we are".

Our Ethos

Buy less. Buy better. Live with what you love.

Held Home is for people who are thoughtful about what they bring into their space. Who want a home that reflects them—not a catalogue. Who believe secondhand doesn’t mean second-rate.

We’re not here to add more noise. We’re here to help you shop consciously, and feel good doing it.

  • All pieces are vintage or antique

  • Everything is personally hand-sourced

  • Orders are shipped in recycled, reused packaging

  • Sustainability is at our core

Founder’s Favourites

From the Founder

This isn’t just a shop. It’s a collection of things I’ve loved enough to carry home, clean up, and list. I choose every piece myself. I wrap every parcel. Held is small and it’s personal. That’s the whole point.

Thanks for being here. I hope something on these pages finds its way into your home—and that it brings you as much joy as it brought me to find it.
