The Real Thing, Not Reproductions
Film and TV productions demand authenticity. Audiences and directors alike can spot a reproduction — the wrong patina, the wrong weight, the wrong wear pattern. When a set needs to look like it belongs to a specific period or place, the pieces on it need to be genuine. That’s where a salvage yard becomes one of the most valuable resources a props buyer or production designer can have.
EuroSalve stocks thousands of authentic salvage and vintage items across 90,000 square feet in Kilkenny — genuine period furniture, original architectural salvage, real vintage signage, actual distressed industrial pieces and a constantly changing range of one-off items that are the real thing rather than a facsimile. We supply film and TV productions across Ireland and are well used to working with props departments who need to move quickly and accurately.
Period Furniture & Architectural Pieces
From Victorian fireplaces and original timber doors to cast iron radiators, reclaimed timber beams and period stone features — we stock authentic architectural salvage spanning several centuries of Irish and European domestic and industrial history. These are the pieces that give a period set its credibility and that no prop hire catalogue can reliably supply.
We also stock a wide range of vintage and period furniture — sideboards, tables, chairs, mirrors, lighting and decorative items from various eras. Most pieces are completely unique. If you have a specific period, style or item in mind, get in touch with your brief and we’ll come back with what we currently have and what we can source.
Vintage Signage, Barrels & Set Dressing
For set dressing, background props and atmosphere pieces, we’re hard to beat. We stock hundreds of vintage signs — Irish brands, Americana, advertising boards, farming and agricultural signage, sport, novelty items and more — all genuine pieces that read authentically on camera in a way reproductions don’t.
Beyond signage, we stock whiskey barrels, wooden crates, cast iron pieces, taxidermy, religious items, post boxes, vintage lighting, unusual decorative objects and a huge range of miscellaneous salvage that works perfectly as background dressing or foreground props. We’re happy to work through a set dressing list and pull together options across multiple categories.
Windows, Doors & Architectural Details
Original windows, reclaimed doors, cast iron guttering, chimney pots, entrance gates and railings — the architectural details that make a set look like a real building rather than a constructed one. We stock a wide range of original architectural salvage that productions use both on set and as reference pieces for set construction.
Reclaimed timber cladding, original floorboards and reclaimed stone are also regularly sourced by production design teams for period and contemporary sets alike. Because architectural salvage stock changes constantly, the best approach is to contact us with your specific requirements — period, material, scale — and we’ll tell you exactly what we have available and what we can turn around within your production timeline.
