A pair of brass and copper mounted wrought iron candle holders on scrolled tripod support in the style of WAS Benson. There is a flower missing to the stem of one holder so the price reflects this as they would normally retail for up to £400.

This vintage 'Return of the Bedouin' tapestry table runner would traditionally have been hung. I think they are fab as table decoration or indeed anything that requires a throw over cover.

WHY I BOUGHT THIS VINTAGE STOOL… … because I am drawn to utilitarian art studio furniture which is heavily marked and worn. I like to imagine the hours of contemplation spent whilst sitting on this stool. There’s even a previous owner’s initials inscribed into the side panel. The painted finish has a fab patina.

In great condition this hand-painted vintage first aid cabinet dates from 1960s/70s or possibly earlier. Such a useful item with vintage charm.

This vintage angle poise lamp is a cool yet functional addition to your office or studio- a design classic.

This is a Victorian Aesthetics ebonised folding card table with ormolu mounts on twin pillar supports from around 1830. This is a stunning piece. It has been part restored and currently functions as a side/hall table. Further work required if desired to be used as a card table. The price reflects this as fully restored it would be worth considerably more. Please request a delivery quote by filling out the form below or contact us separately- thank you

Scratch built model diorama of a man enjoying his garden railway. Do you have childhood memories of visiting model villages? I do. The wonderful intriguing world of creating in miniature. This piece is a delight and given pride of place in our shop in Rhayader for all to see.

I believe the Scandinavian floor lamp base is from the 60s and the shade may be a little later. The shade is a classic mid-century apricot, brown and orange combination which ties in perfectly with the teak and brass base.

This Indian table is of coffee or side table size. It dates from the 19th century and is made from a wheel. A fantastic piece of antique upcycling! It is very heavy due to the iron supports and layers of wood held together with nails and iron brackets.

This is a green handmade throw from Bobbi Handmade. Bobbi is a Rhayader based designer and maker of beautiful children’s clothing. Bobbi Handmade started in 2011 transitioning from Bobbi’s successful family business established in the 1970s. I love earthy and jewel colours- natural and striking. Bobbi loves African fabrics (amongst many other types of course). I was delighted when Bobbi said yes to collaborating on some interior pieces for 3 Legged Duck. Bobbi suggested some beautiful and striking African print fabric. These versatile double sided throws have been pre-washed to avoid uneven shrinkage. Printed fabric on one side and a fine soft cord on the reverse. Also available in blue. Throw size: 158 x 107cm Price includes shipping to Uk mainland. Also see Bobbi Handmade rag bunting

Handmade rag bunting exclusively made for and in collaboration with 3LD by Bobbi Handmade. Bobbi is local to Rhayader and designs and makes children’s clothing. I showed Bobbi a photo of rag bunting at Gifford’s Circus and to my delight she had made similar for her wedding. This is a fantastic way of creating a decorative item out of normally discarded fabric which is attached to 2.5 metre long super strong natural yachting cord. Also available in mustard yellows/earthy tones. Price includes UK mainland postage.

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!

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.
