Cleaning them up before delivery to a very nice couple.
But yesterday I purchased a huge amount of incredible 17th – 18th century botanicals. Besler’s 1613, Blackwell’s 1730 amazing 18th century palm engravings.
I recently replaced the plants to my jardinier in living/dining room. They’re quite perfect, but very hard to photograph.
I have many plants inside and outside my apartment, most belonged to my mother Nina, so I love having them around.
I look after my plants even compliment every now and then..
The flowers I regularly place on my dining table “interlopers” to the indoor plants are also well maintained, trimmed and re watered, to last as long as possible.
Thought I’d take a few quick snaps this morning and post.
Flowers and antiques blend beautifully ✨

This nest of 1920s oak side tables have been around for many many years.
I purchased them around 15 years ago, my late father Neville stripped the lacquered finish off for me, for some reason he removed all the tops?
So over the years, we found some tops, the bases, moved from store to storeroom, bloody bloody!!
A recent purchase from another dealer.
The chest had been coloured to a dark green oak and had been lacquered.
I could tell there was something more special beneath that finish.
As soon as we started cleaning it back, we discovered the Yew wood cross-banding then the solid Yew wood base.
Such a wonderful discovery!
