SOLD 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.

It has even been converted to a toolbox at some point and has evidence of being used as a work bench.

Flat-pack furniture has been around for years, centuries even!

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. 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).

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!

SOLD 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 :)

SOLD 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.

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.

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.

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!
