Hunter S Thompson (1937-2005) was a prevalent American journalist who was a pioneer of 'gonzo journalism'. Thompson was also an author, best known for his work 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' (1971), which Ralph Steadman collaborated with him on by producing illustrations for the novel. Thompson tragically committed suicide in 2005. In place of a traditional funeral, Thompson had requested that his ashes be fired from a cannon and this was arranged for him by his friend, Johnny Depp.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!
Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
