Charlie’s second restoration job.

18th century English country oak gate-leg table.

Charlie restored this table for Behruz, where it sits in their entrance foyer to the centre of a stunning rug.

Charlie’s worked with Amir, Omid and all their wonderful staff for some time now, until he departs for Thailand later this month.

This is Charlie’s ‘thank you’ to the boys

The Johnston Collection 2010 – The Kitchen

The Kitchen:

The applied wall shelving was highlighted dark green and gold, from memory. We suggested to re paint to blend with the existing wall colour.
Bridget Evans and Suzi Mann, cut back and re painted them, while the furniture was being placed. I had such a wonderful team back in 2010.
Having the best suited assistance is imperative when running a specialist business.
As you can see how nice they now blend in, rather than fighting for attention with ceramics.
We were very proud of this change.

 

The Johnston Collection 2010 – Mr Johnston’s Study

Visually for me sometimes less is more and my initial reaction was to lighten the content. Thus began a process as an example, I placed one painting where previously there had been two, lots of subtle changes. I certainly don’t appreciate minimalism but on the other hand, I don’t like a cluttered appearance.

Rearranging my showroom

Always rearranging my showroom as selling a lot recently, so forever changing.

My storerooms are emptying faster than I thought, so workshop is also busy preparing stock.

Dealing in rare, more one off pieces has always been my way of trading.
