WHY I BOUGHT THIS … … because I love a striking object … This is a free form, hand blown, Chalet art glass centrepiece. It was made in Canada in around the 1960s or perhaps a little earlier. Extraordinary that it is in nearly perfect condition with no chips - just a few scratches on the underside of the base. Stunning … well, I think so!

SOLD I like bringing the outside in with this pair of exterior industrial style galvanised or brushed alloy wall lanterns. Having lived in rented for years as a student and beyond, I could never consider installing wall lights- electrician, hardwiring etc. These lights have been re-wired with a long fabric flex so you can simply plug in. The flex becomes a feature to create that cool art studio vibe. Price includes UK mainland postage.

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.
