A few pieces from my private collection, reduced to under 50% of their value.

A few pieces from my private collection, reduced to under 50% of their value.

Over the past few years since selling our family home and sizing down to an apartment, I’ve sold much of my private collection. Some I sold long before I moved, and since I moved, that’s progression and continually upgrading my surroundings. These are a few pieces I’ve reduced to under 50% of their value. Now in my warehouse and only a small display area for private viewings, I’ve made the decision to let a lot go, even the rest of my private collection Before I moved shop in June, I even sold my complete Draakestein collection, ten in total went back to the UK, as much of my stock has over the decades, as dealing in rare items there’s always an international demand. Note: the surrounding pieces and art in my home and showroom have all sold, even the ceramics!! The very long French buffet below the Atamja painting, the farmhouse table, harlequin set of country chippendale chairs and pair of bog-oak side chairs all sold within weeks of placing onto the market.

Recently restored – unusual 19th century English figured walnut extension dining table

Was coated with thick pasty oxides years ago, that hid the beautiful natural grain.

There were strong black rings to the top and leaves and a few chips.I hand stripped, Eddie patched the tops and bleached the rings.

Then I sealed and hand finished the table is as lighter natural finish as possible, using traditional french polishing and modern protective finishes.

Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man

Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man

The well patinated circular top supported by a beautifully turned column, raised on three down swept cabriole legs terminating in boot feet.
The shaped legs resembling the Isle of Man flag.

The flag features three running legs bent at the knees conjoined at the centre.
Local residents of the Isle of Man explain that the legs turn anti-clockwise so that they don’t kneel to the English.
The use of the emblem on the flag in the Isle of Man dates back to the 13th Century.

This English refectory dining table was made between 70 and 30 years before Captain James Cook was born.

Thats something interesting to think about.

Incredible what a good wax can achieve.

Apartment entrance display.

Being terribly overstocked, (but not complaining) I’ve taken this walnut entrance table to my apartment to create more shop space and over decorate my entrance!

My usual entrance pieces are also quite out of my usual style, but having a retro 1970 built apartment, I wanted something different from the interior at the door.
Not my usual style or periods, but had to have these unique pieces✨✨
