I’m selling a beautiful harlequin set of 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs for a customer, so popped one into my window.

Such joy they have brought to her life…

I’ve enjoyed having this beautiful 18th century English yew-wood side table in my apartment for the past few years.
Being a dealer and having such special pieces, I have the enjoyment of living with, then selling once replacing.
I’ll truly miss this table, however living in an apartment forces one to cull!
This table will be back in my showroom next week.
Even though I’m retiring soonish, new stocks still arriving. Everything is discounted even if new arrivals…

Notice how even a retro made semi Chippendale style dining chair can match so well with a striking piece of art 300 years older.
Contemporary framing can completely change the look of a copper engraving, painting, lithograph, even old photos. It’s not hard.
These chairs were unattractive, dark and had shocking patterned upholstery.
Once again, it’s not too hard to improve a chair.
I have these in a window display this week.
Quite eye catching, along with the descriptions of both.
As always it’s important to create interesting window displays
