Complete set of eight English Hepplewhite revival dining chairs, including two armchairs.

A great find.

The moulded bowed floral carved top rail, with tapered side supports and beautifully carved rear splat.
Having comfortable wide upholstered seats, resting on square moulded tapered legs.

This set is a fine example of the late 19th, early 20th century revival period.

1890 – 1920

The last set of these I sold, the six dining chairs down each side of dining table and the pair of carvers either side of sideboard.
Very stylish look. The carvers are pulled over when having more than six to dinner.

Still to be cleaned, a couple lightened (as sat in the shaded side of dining room) touched out and wax finished.

19th century English pewter potty.

Used in displays for over 30 years.

Loved doing the ad with Russell Winnell in our home.

Russell was packing up his lighting when the boys arrived home from park.

They jumped onto the chair for a quick photo, I used this ad in many magazines over the years.

Also sat framed on their grandparents living room wall.

BTW, Charlie now 21, Luke 20.

This delightful 17th century English livery cupboard has been in storage some years.
Finally brought out and gave a good wax on Saturday and SOLD!

The globe was about to come home to sit on my bedroom chest, but can’t keep everything…

A Nest of English Oak Tables

This nest of 1920s oak side tables have been around for many many years.
I purchased them around 15 years ago, my late father Neville stripped the lacquered finish off for me, for some reason he removed all the tops?

So over the years, we found some tops, the bases, moved from store to storeroom, bloody bloody!!

Recently Eddie (step dad) and fantastic cabinet maker put them back together.
Charlie and myself located a tin of bitumen to give the important base colour, we then polished them together and Charlie and Jack cut back and wax finished them together.

So an entire family concern put into these decorative, functional tables.

19th Century English ‘William & Mary’ style, Yew & Walnut Chest on Stand.

A recent purchase from another dealer.

The chest had been coloured to a dark green oak and had been lacquered.

I could tell there was something more special beneath that finish.

As soon as we started cleaning it back, we discovered the Yew wood cross-banding then the solid Yew wood base.

Such a wonderful discovery!

The cavetto moulded rectangular top, above two short and three long graduated drawers.

Resting on a solid Yew wood base with bold bobbin-turn legs and matching H-stretcher.

Note: the drawers, top and sides having Yew-wood cross-banding.

Last photographs of Charlie & Jack during their work on removing varnish from base.

The methods of construction and unusually knotted solid walnut, suggest country made rather than more precise town pieces.

A rare set of six 1920s revival dining chairs.

These chairs are around 100 years old. The 20s was a huge revival period.

They have Queen Anne rear shaped splats and shaped top rails 1705.
George I and George II cavletto style moulds 1714 – 1740
all blending so well.

Would you believe I used bitumen to build this beautiful walnut/period oak colour.
A long, complicated, somewhat monotonous restoration job indeed!

19th century English country elm triple-bowed Windsor rocking chair

The first one in around 20 years, very scarce.

The bold bowed top rail above a fret-carved centre splat, running through a well patinated bowed arm

rest, with out swept turned arm supports, on a well grained saddle seat, resting on central bobbin-

turned legs, joined by a bowed front stretcher and the original bowed rockers.

Fantastic overall colour and patination.
