A wonderfully worn antique oriental rug dating from the late 19th/early 20th century.
The style and mixture of earthy and dark tones will work with pretty much any decor. The price reflects the condition but to me it is worth more than a perfect example- I have been looking for a Persian rug with this aesthetic for a long time!

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 I positively love the atomic age (late 40s–early 60s) and this piece, although probably dating from late 60s early 70s takes inspiration from this era.

A beautifully designed piece in solid & veneered teak wood with atomic style ebonised knobs and retro dansette legs (ebonised wood legs with brass feet caps).

SOLD This is a uniquely designed piece which has been finely made in mahogany. It was commonly seen in solicitors offices, libraries or Schools in Britain in the 1920s. A highly practical bookcase made in three stacked sections. Indeed, this fairly large furniture item is very easy to disassemble and transport. Flat-pack furniture has been around for years, centuries even!

This industrial work bench dates from around 1900. A fantastic piece of workplace history from a bygone era. This piece smelled like a car and probably had not been cleaned in its whole life. The bent nails, scuffed edges and ingrained dirt and grime have been preserved. Condition: the structure is sound and solid.

SOLDThis is an amazing antique 17th century sword chest. What has this swashbuckling item seen and heard over the centuries? It has even been converted to a toolbox at some point and has evidence of being used as a work bench. The remnants of paint and accidental marks only add to the story of this piece.It has only been in the shop for a couple of weeks with many admirers and has recently sold!

SOLD Highly unusual French antique architectural salvage dating from the 19th century which is believed to be a chimney topper. Stunning pierced metal body and original crackled paint patina.

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.

WHY I BOUGHT THIS ... … because there is absolutely nothing ‘standard’ about this lamp! I would go as far as to say this is the most beautiful item I have come across this year and it is a pleasure to own it. This is a late 19th/early 20th century, hand painted papier mâché, standard lamp which his from Kashmir or could be South Russian.

WHY I BOUGHT THIS .... ... this is a chest of 110 drawers each with the watch part engraved into the brass cup. Each drawer is blind tooled with a number inside corresponding to a number hand written in the chest carcass. These drawers are in untouched condition from the day they came out of the watchmakers. What a treasure!
