-
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.
-
This is a repurposed Victorian door with brass door fittings. It has been given a new lease of life with the addition of Arts and Crafts style vintage coat hooks. There are brass mirror plates for secure fixing to a wall.

This is a blue 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 green. Throw size: 158 x 107cm Price includes shipping to Uk mainland. Also see Bobbi Handmade rag bunting

This Puritan style, utterly charming antique oak chair dates from early George III c.1800. There is a beautiful monastic simplicity to the square (non-turned) legs and stretchers. It has an amazing original dark oak colour and patination. Great as a hall/side chair.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.

This beach watercolour painting dates from the mid to late 20th century. It is in the very popular English school style.

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.
