Out of stockWHY 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.

Out of stockSOLD This fabulous piece of 1920s workmanship would have been made for the industrial office. A fantastic feature is the rotating wheel of hooks. Would look magnificent in any hallway (with a fairly high ceiling as it stands at nearly 7ft tall!).

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.

Out of stockSOLDThis 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!

Out of stockThis 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.
-
Out of stockSOLD 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!
-
Out of stockSOLD 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. This is an original and rare Mid century modern tallboy dresser by White & Newton. 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).
-
Out of stockSOLD This is a late 19th century country made mahogany arm chair with a beautiful curved shape. When you look closely it looks like it has been in a Wild West showdown with multiple repairs! The repairs are good and strong though with no movement. This one is a survivor :)
-
Out of stockSOLD This is a fab piece of eye-catching shop display. I believe it is very new but the apothecary hand painted signage has been exceptionally well executed. The typographic style has an essence of carnival, fairground and circus sign writing. The price reflects that this is a modern reproduction.

Out of stockSOLD WHY I BOUGHT THIS ... ... because it has been untouched since it came out of an old watchmakers shop in 2017/18. This watch makers chest of drawers dates from around 1930 and is made from stained pine. It has the original black bakelite knobs and has a truly beautiful (to me) worn patina. This item has sold.

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.
