A rare George III solid yew-wood pembroke table. — A rare George III solid yew-wood pembroke table.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD

When interstate recently, one of my favourite customers from over many years, called me to say hello and ask where I’d moved to?

see reel

I explained I’d moved to my warehouse for about the next year in North Fitzroy.

About 1k from her home in Fitzroy, she was happy to hear this.

Next she said, I love every piece I’ve purchased from you over the years, they bring me great joy. My only regret is, I never bought that yew-wood pembroke table from you, for my library room.

My reply was, well Elizabeth, I took the table home to enjoy for a few years. However, I recently changed a few pieces around and had to bring back into stock. So it’s now just around the corner from you.

On my return, she came to my warehouse and asked me to deliver to try. Knowing the space well, I knew it wouldn’t return. Even better, this piece like all of my stock was reduced by 50%.

I imported this table from Chester, UK some years ago and have nearly sold many times.

That’s the life of an antique dealer, some pieces, no matter how rare they are may sell before you even have the chance to post it, or may be in your company for over a decade.

I took a few photos in situ to share.

I also photographed all of the other pieces I sold her over the years, every one a one off piece. “The incredible beauty of English country furniture”

I’ll create a post soon of all of them, of course I have permission to do so…

1790 – 1810

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.
