Late 18th Century English cherrywood and laburnum chest on chest.
Standing to the front an equally rare 18th century English cherry wood country Chippendale arm chair with a freshly
Colefax check upholstered drop in seat.
I’ve always enjoyed dealing in the more unusual, rare one off pieces…
To the chest top, three decorative 19th century English ‘Masons’ jugs and rare large mug.

Jeff Martin…
Mixing antiques from different parts of the world can work very well. Not all styles mix well, but 18th and 19th century English and French furniture mixed very well.
Six from a harlequin set of eight, last quarter 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs, with a handsome first quarter 19th century French figured elm, two plank farmhouse table.
Absolutely beautiful. Classic lines with unequalled style, well that’s my opinion.
Late 18th Century French fruitwood (cherry) centre/serving/sofa/hall/entrance table. AA1934
Of good deep proportions and fantastic overall faded colour and patination. The rectangular cleated top above a shaped frieze, housing three drawers, all the original turned handles and knotted elm drawer linings, resting on long slight shaped cabriole legs.
Napoleon III in neo-Greek style, the central panel having animated characters enjoying the pleasures of life.
Supported by palm leaves, terminating on lion paw feet.

32 x 73cm
Note: Chains remaining to the rear to enable wall display.
The serpentine shaped tilt top, retaining the original rear brass catch. Above an ebonised and gilt decorated support column, resting on shaped out-swept legs.
Still to be cleaned up, old chips black wax filled and coloured over.
The well patinated three plank moulded pear wood top, above an oak base.
The long single drawer retaining the original steel drop handle, resting on fine turned legs, joined by a matching turned ‘H’ stretcher, with a turned fruitwood central finial.
