1790 – 1810

One of my favourite aspects about English country furniture, is they used the timbers available in their workshops at the time. If this was a town piece, would all be cut from the same tree and would be mahogany.

How’s this, I imported this table from UK well over a decade ago, along with several pieces we’re cleaning up this week.

Remarkably, the cleaning and re waxing time was about two hours. Well it’s nice finally getting all this nice new/old stock ready for showroom.

Dressers, Chair’s, Chests, Dough bins/petrin’s, sycamore chopping block on oak legs etc..

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.

Come see me Saturday if you’re not away for Easter.
