17th.c Oak Coffer

Probably the earliest piece of furniture our current stock this large pale oak coffer with a genuine date of 1678 carved on the front is a survivor from the reign of Charles II. The quality of the timbers used on the unseen parts of a piece furniture is always a good guide to its age and originality and the wide boards of the floor and panelled back of this coffer will interest collectors.
£595

18th.c.Oak Gate Leg Table

We have several oak drop leaf tables in at the moment but this is by far the pick of the bunch. Interesting how small details can make a big difference to the desirability of a piece of furniture. As well as being a good size (easily seats 6), a good colour, with a useful drawer in one end and being a date of around 178o, what makes this one stand out from the crowd is its feet. Most furniture from this period stood on stone floors and has suffered from rot caused by damp, consequently many of these tables have been 'tipped' with new feet. This one appears to have survived unscathed and is original throughout.

Robert Meyrick - Hafod Uchtryd.

Acquired today, two prints by Robert Meyrick; artist, art historian and author, of Hafod Uchtryd the celebrated country house designed by John Nash, set amongst fabulous park land near Aberystwyth. After it fell into disuse the house was demolished in the mid 1940's but its reputation as a high point of Georgian gothic and romantic architecture remains and its splendid and eccentric mix of styles is recreated by Meyrick in his work.
Very much in the manor of the great postwar printmakers such as Edward Bawden and the Curwen press these are two excellent quality prints on thick cartridge paper. A framed linocut of the house against the mountains signed and numbered 5/12. With an original lable from the Aberystwyth Printmakers on the reverse. Also a large screenprint of different architectural elements signed and numbered 22/30.
£95 each.
