Yet to be professionally photgraphed, these are iPhone photos.
Elizabeth Blackwell (nee Blachrie) was among the first women to achieve fame as a botanical illustrator. She was born in Aberdeen in about 1700, but moved to London after she married. She undertook an ambitious project to raise money to pay her husband’s debts and release him from debtors’ prison.
Having a 6cm thick two plank moulded top.
Above a thick plain skirt, resting on square chamfered legs, joined by an ‘H’ stretcher.

Loved waxing up this magnificent long dining table over the past two days.
Remarkable how easy it is to bring something to life with such a simple process.
Also a great work out I need!! It’s hard yakka!
Cleaning and re wax finishing an old flat wax finish reveals all the natural beauty and depth of the hundreds of years old patina and knots.
Especially on the two plank oak top and long chestnut centre stretcher.
Note, the last photo in lane when arrived from France.
Now awaiting customers to come see…
Frame 185cm x 132cm

The well patinated three plank moulded top, above three drawers, retaining the original brass fret shaped handles.

Sold this table from my storeroom, was planning on taking to my apartment, but business is business!
So like much of my stock, didn’t make my showroom.
The set of six American oak windsor armchairs also sold, they suit so well and are very comfortable. I used one as my desk chair.
SOLD
The circular dropside top above a slight frieze to each short end, resting on four turned tapered legs terminating on pad feet.
Fantastic faded colour and patination.

And then there were three✨
Elegant trio of vintage retro black glass birds. The black pair now joined by an off white interloper.
An interesting word to name the welcomed new addition, quite the opposite to be honest. But was just thinking of the Labor PM and Greens leader and for some reason “Interlopers” came into my mind!
However, not wanting to be political on my business page, I shall stop!
Visited a new favourite customer’s home last night to see the renovation progress.
Looking fantastic for sure!
Thought I’d take a few photos of the Maria Theresa chandelier to show you.
The chandelier hanging through the centre of the shaped wrought iron staircase, resting along side the decorative balustrade.
Awaiting a contemporary sculpture to arrive.
Can’t wait to see.
