Who'd have thought that a family-run supermarket would one day have a solid bronze chandelier hanging from its pressed tin ceilings and its butchery board recycled into a centrepiece at the entrance? That's what happened to the old Di Maria family store when Frank Pronesti took over and transformed it into The Rushton, which he has established in 2005 as a neighbourhood bistro.
"A dealer asked if he could hang the chandelier in the centre of the ceiling with the hopes of selling it to one of our customers," says Frank. "By the time it had been hanging there for two years, I had fallen in love with it. So I bought it." The large vintage butcher's board served as the hostess table until it just seemed too big for customers to wedge their way round, but the original tin ceiling covered in embossed motifs is still there.
