Drawer Leaf Table & Eight Chairs.

Georgian Oak Chest of Drawers.

Purchased locally today this gorgeous little Georgian oak chest of drawers c.1790. Good colour, original handles and only 3'1" wide. In need of a little restoration but in good original condition.

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.
£645.

Early 19th.c. Oak Chest of Drawers.

Another small oak chest of drawers for the blog today, Friday's offering having sold already. This one is slightly taller but still only 38" wide. Dating from the early years of the 19th.c. it has the classic drawer formation of two over three, is raised on good high feet and the drawers feature the original blue lining paper - a common feature of late Georgian furniture.
£895.

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.

Small Georgian Chest of Drawers

Fresh on the floor this afternoon after a brief spell in the workshop this delightful late Georgian oak chest of drawers c.1820. Good colour, oak drawer linings and just 33" wide.
£1095.

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.

Large, George III style high back, three seater wing sofa plus a pair of matching armchairs. Very recently upholstered in a good quality floral flatweave. In excellent condition.
£1495

Mid 19th.c. Four Door Sideboard. c.1860.

Antique Stars & Stripes.

Part of a superb collection of vintage flags which arrived here at the shop this afternoon, this 45 star version of the stars and stripes measuring an impressive 48" x 72". This was in use from 1896 when Utah became the 45th state until 1908 when Oklahoma became the 46th.
Others pictured here include 2 British mechant navy red ensigns measuring 50" x 92" and a third at 48" x 84", the French tricolour 72" x 84" and a huge red cross flag measuring 104" x 135".

Pair of Mahogany Display Bookcases

Newly arrived here at the warehouse this morning; this quality pair of Edwardian mahogany glazed cabinet bookcases. Pairs are always at a premium when it comes to furniture as people love the symmetry it affords when laying out rooms. These pieces are small, just 25" wide, again a bonus as they are so easy to accomodate. In need of little restoration I shall post again when they are finished.

Edwardian Oak & Leather Bergere Armchairs.

The colour and finish of leather, like most natural products, gets better with age and careful use. The backs and arms of this pair of Edwardian oak framed, bergere sided armchairs have mellowed and deepened in colour and acquired a fabulous rich patina over almost 100 years. Antique leather is highly sought after and these are two of the nicest examples we have had for some time.
£1095.

Percy Lancaster Poster Designs

Purchased locally this morning these two splendid original gouache or watercolour poster designs by the celebrated landscape artist Percy Lancaster (1878-1951).

Titled The Anglesey Coast and Wild Wales and measuring 15" x 11", each is clearly signed in the lower left hand corner.
