Victorian Brass Bound Travelling Trunk.
A splendid relic of an age when international travel meant months of travel rather than hours, this large and heavy brass bound mahogany trunk would make a fine coffee table with ample storage. Although it carries the scars of its travelling years it is in good solid condition retaining all its original bindings and its two solid brass handles. The best feature, however, must be the original labelling on the lid which reads 'E.J Lawder Esqr. c/o Messers W. Watson & Co. Bombay'. Lawder was the editor of the Anglo-Indian Review, the journal of the Anglo-Indian Empire League. It seems he survived his years in Bombay to make the return journey, as in a less professional hand someone has crossed out 'Bombay' and added 'London' to the address.

Early 19th.c. Welsh Dresser.
Purchased locally yesterday this early 19th.c. oak Welsh dresser. With a well proportioned rack with good wide back boards, original knobs (including the one shown as missing on the photo) and feet. The diamond shaped inlay detail on the rack is typical of furniture made at Talwrn on the island of Anglesey c.1810. In need of a good clean and polish but otherwise complete and in good condition.

Massive Late 19th.c.Oak Sideboard
Whilst the our warehouse showroom might not be the most elegant building it is big enough to allow us to display very large pieces of furniture. A case in point is this huge late 19th.c. pollard oak pedestal sideboard which has arrived today. Measuring an impressive 7'6" wide it is fitted with slides in the left hand pedestal and a deep bottle drawer in the right. With the original mirror.

Yew Wood Windsor Chairs
We are all drooling here in the shop over this superb pair of early 19th.c. Windsor chairs which have arrived this afternoon. Windsors are always attractive chairs but it's the details which lift these out of the ordinary. The arms, top rail and back splat of these chairs are yew wood, as is the bowed 'crinoline' stretcher -itself a notable feature. Yew is very slow growing meaning it is rare in furniture, has a beautiful colour and grain and is especially sought after in Windsors. Add to this the graceful shape of the splat, the fact they are a pair and the excellent original condition and you can understand why we are so keen.
Fantastic High Back Suite.
