Quality leather Chesterfields are not a common find and a true pair are rarer still. This wonderful pair of vintage red leather low back chesterfield sofas c.1950 are a new arrival today. Superb quality manufacture, attractively worn but still in very good condition. I can't think we have ever had such a nice pair in stock.

Cwpwrdd Tridarn c.1750.
Delighted to welcome this fine oak Tridarn to the shop this morning. The Welsh Cwpwrdd Tridarn (or three piece cupboard) is recognised now as a distinct form unique to the area which comprises Snowdonia and the area around Caernarfon. Produced from the mid 17th.c. until the end of the 18th.c. it is an adaption of the more common court cupboard. With the addition of a canopied top tier providing an area for the display of the household's best table ware protected from dirt and soot of an open fire. Over time this display section grew to include several shelves, the middle was lost and the form of the typical Welsh dresser emerged.
Today's new arrival is a splendid example of the form. A good sized canopy with turned columns and shaped side panels above an attractive central section with two small cupboard doors either side of a delightful set of four small drawers. With a two door cupboard base featuring the same well shaped fielded panels. Unusually small proportions, excellent colour and quality timber, solid oak construction throughout, original backboards.
Dimensions: width 53", depth 19", height 72".
£5995

Edwardian Sliding Door Cabinet.
This low Edwardian mahogany cabinet is an unusual piece of furniture. With an arrangement of pigeon holes behind the two sliding doors it would appear to be piece of period office furniture.
