SOLD This brass bell is very loud and causes a ripple of laughter whenever it is pressed in the Rhayader shop. It's hard to resist- you just have to press it. I like the used look with dull brass for this one- this bell has been dinged many times! Wouldn't take much effort though to bring it back to a see yourself finish.

Arts and Crafts These are wrought iron cream painted standard lamps from the Arts and Crafts movement in the style of WAS Benson. William Arthur Smith Benson was an Arts and Crafts designer. Pre-Raphaelite artist, Sir Edward Burne-Jones encouraged Benson’s creative flair and he began making metalwork and went on to set up his own workshop. These lamps are reminiscent of his work. They would look fantastic in a garden room but could suit any living space. Price includes delivery to UK mainland.

SOLD This Chas. Baker & Co. tailor's advertising chair dates from the mid to late 19th century, possibly early 20th. It is made in mahogany with a gentleman’s trouser press concealed in the back. Following the opening of their first store in 1864, they expanded across London until the company were forced to close due to the outbreak of WWII in 1939. There was a boom in the British textile industry in the mid-late 19th century and the clothing trade was a very competitive business. Chas. Baker & Co were innovative in the world of advertising with decorative maps of London and printed leaflets. This great piece of history would look fab in a gentleman's tailors or equally good in a design studio. Price includes UK mainland delivery.

SOLD A highly quirky chest of drawers. These boat cabin steps with drawers incorporated into the step risers were specially commissioned. They have sailed many nautical miles and have only had one lady owner! The outer stair structure is made of solid oak and the drawers are oak veneered to lessen the overall weight. They are well worn as you can expect from their former function but I think this adds to their charm. They would suit a useful and unusual addition to a country style kitchen, studio space or bedroom. They would be perfect as a set of steps to a mezzanine floor and with combined storage they are suited to small spaces. Personally, I would use the steps for display and the drawers to store less accessed belongings.
