19th century revival of a George III long demi lune mahogany side/hall table.
They didn’t make them this narrow in the 18th century. Much shorter and deeper.
This was made to suit the narrow Victorian hallways.
The bowed single plank, reeded-mould top, above a narrow x-banded skirt,
having a single figured mahogany central drawer, with ebony stringing and later but appropriate circular brass plate,
ring handles, covering where the wooded turned handles originally sat. With faux drawers to each side.
Resting on turned tapered legs.
Good overall colour and patination.
Window display night shots
Finally leaving my showroom this evening. Thought I’d make myself even later by taking a few window photos.
Why not hey?
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.
The incredible beauty of 240 years of patina shining in my window is worth staying back for.
More past Yew wood sales
Thought I’d create a few posts on beautiful yew wood pieces I’ve sold over the past few decade’s.
These are the only two yew wood chests I’ve had in over thirty years trading. Extremely rare.
Purchased both in UK 15 and 20 years ago.

Thought I’d create a few posts on beautiful yew wood pieces I’ve sold over the past few decade’s.
I’ll start with these magnificent rare 18th century English Gothic windsor elbow chairs.
I sold these to a wonderful woman in her late 70s back in 2006. She still enjoys them every day.
Such joy they have brought to her life…

A rare George III solid yew-wood pembroke table – UK1881
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.

1686 – 1986
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
An attractive Set of Six 20th Century Australian Ash Chippendale Style Dining Chairs, now white.
The shaped top rail, above a fret carved tapered centre splat, flanked by shaped tapered uprights.
The freshly upholstered soft mint chenille seats blending beautifully.
Resting on a square leg, joined by stretchers.
This set of chairs were very tired, so we cleaned back the surface and refinished them in a soft white.
Would never dream of doing this to a period chair, however this method of restoration has vastly improved these.
These chairs would look fantastic with a period french fruitwood farmhouse table.
The last set I sold through a decorator in 2009.
These chairs also featured in a home I dressed in Elwood 2009.
To see the story of the Elwood home, search ‘Elwood’ on this website.
