Several new pieces in showroom.

Finished by hand in watercolour.
“Calamus”
50cm x 34cm unframed.
Framed 75 x 68cm

First time I’ve framed two together,
usually singular or three. Nice for a change.

“Agrimony & Jasmine”
Elizabeth Blackwell.
A Curious Herbal.

 

18th Century English Country oak Wine Table.

The well patinated, circular tilt top, on a turned central column,
resting on three out-swept cabriole legs.

This is a great example of how to maintain period furniture, without over restoration.

Most important to me is the originality of anything I sell.

All this table requires is a slight re glue and re wax finishing.

A few details I’d like to share while waxing in the showroom..

I waxed up this side table in showroom today. While doing so I noticed a few details I thought to share.
Both front bun-feet are original, both rare replaced around 100 years ago.
Turned exactly the same, only a couple of hundred years later. The ware and borer damages make this clear.
Also the V-shaped supports, below each side of X-stretcher, having chamfered sides to hide their existence (so very well done)
Note: more photos of details on my website.

Note: the drawers, top and sides having yew-wood cross-banding.
