I purchased this dresser some time ago, and only just spent the time removing the later dark polish,
probably added in the Victorian period.
Many hours slowly removing the polish, revealing the beautiful lighter wax finish. Well worth every minute!

Over thirty years of trading and forty years in the antiques trade,I have never stocked a dresser with silhouette legs.
Even more unusual is that I now own two! Both from the same retiring English dealer that I purchased one dozen from.
Actually, my largest single purchase in my thirty years of business.
Notice the outstanding five framed Redouté citrus fruits, hand-coloured copper engravings.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté 1759 – 1840 above, 19th century English pewter charger displaying Buddha’s Hands, pewter mugs,
decorative Italian Murano vase and 19th century English green glass dump,
rare first quarter 20th century Art Nouveau globe (featuring Central Australia) and the mid-century vintage
Italian Murano glass sculptured shaped bowl.
Resting below is a 17th century Bronze cauldron.

The framed Redouté’s hung in my home for the past 20 years.
Now selling.

Delivery of Decorative French Walnut Petrin

Last night I delivered this decorative French walnut petrin to one of my favourite customers.
Not the best lit apartment, so I included a photo from showroom. The piece certainly lifted her living room. Especially when we placed the two rare Masons plates I sold to her recently.
FYI, paintings above, Bowna NSW, Hilary Jackman 1989 Australia Club, 110 William St, Melbourne. Dora Wilson Girl With Dog,
Septimus Power (My favourite) love this one. In the entrance her portrait painted aged 23, by Paul Fitzgerald 1960
Had to share this, ‘with permission’ Such a wonderful painting.
I love seeing customers homes, you’d be amazed at how many beautiful, rare pieces I see throughout Australia.
