Elizabeth Blackwell. A Curious Herbal. 1737 – 1739.

Such a fascinating, gifted woman from the early 18th century. Certainly one of my top five botanical engravers in history.
I’ve sold many of her pages over the past four decades.
Having recently purchased several copies of a re print of “A Curious Herbal” I decided to give a copy with each sale of an original Blackwell until all copies are gone.

Look under “Works of Art” – “Botanicals” or scroll through my instagram page to see my latest unframed Blackwell arrivals

Phoebe’s parents Bill and Kate were some of my earliest country oak buying customers back around 1991.

Long before they or I had any children.
One thing I’ve loved over the years is many customers have become friends.
Having the same taste in rare antiques and art certainly helps to start and maintain such relationships.
It’s been a pleasure selling them some wonderful pieces and restoring a few over the past four decades.
Wow, that’s a long time!

Seeing each others children growing up becoming adults, albeit online, is always a great pleasure.

If you would like to purchase one of these bronze’s, I’d advise you to message me before you come in.

19th century French copper and iron cauldron, of large proportions.

I love the natural oxidisation on this beautifully maintained piece.
Could be cleaned and polished up, but not by me..
I bought this from Gary Kay, Antique Decor, High St, Armadale some years ago and found hiding in my storeroom recently.
So I thought to do a post on my Copper, Bronze, Pewter, Brass, Spelter and pressed metals around my showroom today.

Brass handles around my showroom

I highlighted many of the brass handles in the showroom this morning, so decided to do a post of the piece and the brass-ware dressing.
I included some lamps, sconces, pewter, mirrors, even a couple of Queen Anne style table bells (exceptionally made)

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✨✨

 

Showing part of my wall displays.

Photos taken within three meters of wall space in my showroom today.

18th century English George III country oak low standing chest of drawers.
My personal small collection of Drip Glazed, Australian Deco Regal Mashman pottery. Always loved them.

 

Early 19th century French beech baking paddle.

Makes an interesting table or corner decoration. Would also be a great cheese board or decorate with fruits as I do.

This beautiful vintage Erte flirting mirror is probably the most noticed and touched piece in my showroom.

While cleaning the mirrors outside today, I noticed the blue sky and clouds in the reflections.

‘Coquette’ – a mid 17th Century French word meaning a woman who flirts in a mirror.

Signed Erte (1892 – 1990)
