New Stock - Art Deco Dining Suite

Congratulations to Mr Collinge for his appearance on the Billy Butler show on radio Merseyside this afternoon. He is replacing John Crane as the expert on their regular antiques phone-in whilst John is away for a few weeks. He will be on again next Tuesday from 2pm so listen in or better still phone up for a valuation.
New stock arrives almost everyday here at the warehouse. This is an interesting Walnut Art Deco dining suite which has just arrived this afternoon. A good extending dining table, 8 chairs, a super little side table and there is a sideboard too. It is all there but could do with a little work. I will post another photo when the restorers have brought it back to its former glory.

New Stock - Late 18th.c. Oak Gate Leg Table.

Morning everyone. This table has just had a quick wax from our restorer Tony and was added to the shop floor moments ago. It is a late 18th.c. oak drop leaf dining table dating from around 1790. With beautiful pale oak on the top and a good turned base. It would sit 6 people comfortably - 8 at a push.
£1495 including delivery throughout the North West.
