34th year in business and the first time I’ve stocked a hall stand.
Victorian furniture isn’t usually my style, but this small 19th century English country oak piece is quite delightful.
Borrowed a suitable hand bag from Notre Malvern, the warm scarf I purchased from Notre last year.
Keeps me nice and warm.

One of my favourite aspects about English country furniture, is they used the timbers available in their workshops at the time. If this was a town piece, would all be cut from the same tree and would be mahogany.
How’s this, I imported this table from UK well over a decade ago, along with several pieces we’re cleaning up this week.
Remarkably, the cleaning and re waxing time was about two hours. Well it’s nice finally getting all this nice new/old stock ready for showroom.
Dressers, Chair’s, Chests, Dough bins/petrin’s, sycamore chopping block on oak legs etc..
