One of six 20th century American oak windsor arm chairs.

The bowed top rail, with fret carved shaped central splat, running through the central bow, flowing into the arms.

The saddle seat, resting on turned out-swept legs, joined by an “H” stretcher.

Having a wonderful overall well worn patina.

As always, the most comfortable chairs to dine on and locating sets isn’t easy.

You could have four around your kitchen dining table and place the other three in many places around your home or apartment.

20th Century Regency style standard reading lamp

20th Century Regency style standard reading lamp

THIS ITEM IS SOLD
I know who made this lamp, as I used to buy from Chris and re sell back in the 90s.
Chris had this shop before I moved in 1990, then he was a couple of blocks up “Lighthouse Antiques”,
haven’t seen Chris for nearly a decade, great bloke.
Anyway, it’s nice to have one in stock again.
You’ll notice the arm and shade are fully moveable to light up your art or use as a reading lamp.
The stylish clean Regency lines in brass suit my style of furniture and art well.

Purchased this delightful chair from customers last week.
They bought as 18th century, English oak George III elbow chair.

But still very nice stylish, a lot more than if was English, as it’s French.

I sold this dresser over twenty years ago, to a customer that later became a very close friend. This dresser was placed into his main office and sat in the entrance with a William Robertson hanging above.
I had this photographed and used as a full page advertisement.
I’m trying to locate this Russell Winnell photograph to help re promote the magnificent piece, along with others I purchased back, that were also full page advertisements pre 2000.
The three plank moulded top, above a plain lower moulded frieze, housing three mitred double cushion drawers, with later, appropriate brass-work.
Resting on baluster turned front legs, with plain rear rectangular legs and plain moulded sides.
Retaining the colourful Italian tassel and key I sold with.

One of the wonderful things about English and French country furniture is they used whatever timbers they had at the time. These drawer linings are an example and often found in 17th-18th century country pieces. Another favourite of mine is how many different timbers are found in the one piece. A French farmhouse table can have three to four different timbers at times. This variance creates the special uniqueness you can only find in country and provincial pieces, as town pieces, as delightful as they are, are more predictably perfect.

Small 19th century English country oak hall/hat stand

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD
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.
