GATELEG TABLE

Where is the other flap, you may well ask? This is one of a group of tables which were made with just a single flap. Probably to stand against a wall like a credence table. The example shown here came from a local collection of 17th century English oak furniture and has been lovingly polished over many years.

SIDE CABINET

A black 2 doored cupboard with plenty of internal storage.

Made in the Italian style by a top quality English furniture maker during the third quarter of the 19th century. It is not unlike pieces of furniture on display in Queen Victoria`s seaside home at Osborne House in the Isle of Wight.

MAHOGANY CUPBOARD

This is particularly small being only 112cms wide and 193 cms tall.

It has good hanging capacity for jackets and shirts in the top half and spacious drawers in the lower half. It would have been made in the first quarter of the 19th century and known as a clothes press.

MAHOGANY BUREAU

A good, old fashioned Georgian brown mahogany bureau.

Close the fall and lock up all your papers and it looks so tidy.

It is just under a metre wide.

MAHOGANY BUCKET

Umbrellas, walking sticks or perhaps just a plant to go in this brass bound shaped bucket which was made around the time of Edward VII

SINGLE FLAP TABLE

That's how it was made back in the 18th century in Ireland.

In a wonderfully rich, heavy, dark mahogany, this is your perfect choice for a breakfast or supper table. It can stand against the wall and the leaf can come up when required.

SIDETABLE

A no frills Georgian side table from the early 19th century. Simple mahogany with one drawer, only 81 cms wide.

Ideal hall or small writing table. Must come into the category of Easy Antiques.

WING CHAIR

A Georgian mahogany wing armchair having an original 18th century frame now covered in antiqued green hide.

As an extra plus point you can just see the fretwork corner brackets but you can't see the original castors.

OVERMANTLE MIRROR

An early 19th century giltwood three division mirror measuring approximately 4 1/2 by 3 feet.

It has retained its old gilt look and features an elaborate Roman scene above the glass.

Formerly the property of a well known, but now retired, actress.

MAHOGANY TALLBOY

A Chippendale chest on chest in original condition and with a rich dark chocolate colour.

Ideal size for the smaller home being only 106 cms wide and 192 cms high.

Made around 1760.

WHATNOT

Don't ask me why, but it's as good a name as any for a mobile shelved piece of furniture.

This mahogany example has its original castors and the shelves are attached by barley twist spindles.
Extremely useful as a lamp table or similar and it would have been made somewhere around 1835.

CHEST of DRAWERS

A gutsy mahogany chest of drawers made north of the border in Scotland. Plenty of storage with a width of 138 cms and a height of 119 cms.

You can imagine a chest like this sitting in a large granite built house in, say, the city of Aberdeen. Even the back feet want to make a statement, pointing their paws outwards in a most unusual fashion.

SUTHERLAND TABLE

An early Victorian burr walnut Sutherland table with the maker's label of Thomas Eyles from Cheltenham.

Sutherland tables were small space saving gate-leg tables with a very narrow top and wide deep flaps.

They were named after Harriet, Duchess of Sutherland.

This example once belonged to a British actress who appeared in films in the 1950's and 1960's.

OPEN BOOKCASE

This is the chance to move your surplus books from cardboard boxes into a roomy open bookcase with adjustable shelving.

Made towards the end of the first quarter of the 19th century, this piece of antique furniture in mahogany has some pleasing carving adorning the outside. measures 55 by61" high.

ARMCHAIR

An 18th century mahogany armchair, suitable as a desk chair.

BREAKFRONT BOOKCASE

A Georgian mahogany breakfront bookcase of manageable size and having good storage capacity.

FRENCH BED

A 4'6" wide 19th century French bed bought in France and ready for use, just needs a mattress or mistress. The bedcover and two pillow cases are available separately for £62.00 including UK mainland delivery.

CLOTHES PRESS
A mahogany clothes press from the Hepplewhite period, that is about 1780.

It has a particularly exciting pear drop cornice.

The original trays have disappeared so there is plenty of hanging space in the upper half.

CHEST OF DRAWERS
A small 18th century mahogany chest of 4 drawers.

Only 84cms wide and 51cms deep.

The chest stands 84 cms high

DINING TABLE
Well it could be, but on the other hand it would make an excellent sideboard type table. It's not as small as it looks as it opens up from 1.2 metres to very nearly 2.2 metres.
It's oak, it's Dutch and it was made in the great 19th century revivalist period and if you watched the film 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' you will probably have seen furniture of a similar type.

CHIPPENDALE CHAIR
What a joy to handle a mid 18th century authentic item of antique furniture. A wonderful old book called The English Chair published in 1937 shows on page 124 a similar example of an armchair. Both have waved cresting and pierced splats carved with foliage and scrolls and the shaped legs with claw and ball feet.

BOX MIRROR
Forget the last two centuries, let`s go back to real antiques; the things our fathers and grandfathers collected or in my case dealt in.
Walnut furniture from the William and Mary, Queen Anne and George 1 periods that has held its value through the pendulum of fashion over the years. Here is a small example: a shaped front toilet mirror with what looks like the original bevelled mirror plate. Rich old colour and just a joy to behold.

WALNUT WARDROBE
It would be impossible to make this piece now at the price at which we are selling it. There is certainly a potential for upward movement of price amongst those who have large bedrooms. Made of American walnut with good hanging, storage space and a robing mirror, this piece of furniture dates from around 1890 and is 155cms long and 210 cms high.

PLANT CONTAINER
This early 20th. century mahogany shaped container is just perfect to house an indoor plant.
It has a newly made brass liner, so it won't leak and with a height of 35 cms it will sit neatly in the smallest of rooms.

PEWTER VASES
A pair of pewter vases made by Liberty & Co and stamped English pewter: Made in England with the design number 030 stamped on the base. The design is called Tudric which was the Celtic sounding trade name used by Liberty`s manufacturers, W.H.Haseler the Birmingham based jewellers and silversmiths. It was Max Haseler who claimed that it was the Elizabethan pewter purchased by his father from the painter and antiquary Oliver Baker that inspired the launching in 1901 of the range called Tudric.
