I know exactly where each piece sits, dressers, coffers, chests, farmhouse tables,
chandeliers, art etc…
Dealing in rare, more one off pieces has always been my way of trading.
My sale is going strong, the best will always sell, so come see me soon
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!

20th century oak sideboard
Fresh out of restoration from an unattractive chocolate colour with tiny steel handles to this.
We rarely strip, but in this case nothing to save, so hand strip, no sanding, mix a bitumen based stain, re polish, cut back and built a wax finish.
A recent private restoration job.
Beautiful last quarter 19th century French oak rotating desk chairThe last photo shows before restoration.
Several patches and re carving, re gluing, removed the later varnished dark surface to reveal a very red raw oak.
Refused to sand or bleach, made up a green base stain that removed much of the red, a very old trick.
Re french polished, coloured in repairs, cut back and wax finished.
Craig Howell, upholsterer, removed the original pressed leather seat and reupholstered the chair to finish this wonderful job.
Eddie, cabinet maker, completed the repairs and carving. Also the ball bearings lubricated and running well.
They didn’t make them this narrow in the 18th century. Much shorter and deeper.
This was made to suit the narrow Victorian hallways.
