About Scéal

Scéal means “story”

Scéal pairs singular secondhand finds with original micro-poetry. Before an object is offered for sale, it receives a 45-second imagined history, spoken in Irish and English, followed by the price reveal.

Why secondhand

The best vintage pieces already carry marks of other lives. We source from charity shops, house clearances and auction lots, choosing useful and unusual objects with character worth preserving.

Why poetry

A listing can tell you dimensions and condition. A poem can make you look again. Every Scéal film gives an overlooked object a moment of attention before it begins its next chapter.

What arrives

Your purchase is the one-off piece shown in its listing. Where offered, you can add a printed provenance card carrying its bilingual poem—a small record of the story that brought you together.
