Second half 19th century English faded mahogany and cherry banded pedestal desk/centre table.

Second half 19th century English faded mahogany and cherry banded pedestal desk/centre table.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD

 

Another beautiful piece from my private collection.
This desk sat in our front living room for 20 years.
It was actually Donnas computer desk.

Perfect for bookwork storage with a shelved faux-drawer cupboard to the left and three graduated drawers to the right.
The top having two wide drawers, all with later stylish brass-work.

The top is very well faded and patinated mahogany with unusual cherry-wood cross banding flanked by thick pear-wood stringing.

For many years before we owned this desk, the previous English owners must have left in a sun filled bay window, to be so well faded overall.

Yet another piece I’d have happily kept for my apartment, if I had the space.

Never seen anything like this before.

My weekly visit from Mary Carson

My weekly visit from Mary Carson

My wonderful friend, Mary Carson popped in to visit me during the week.

She brought me these American ‘Mary gone Crackers’ to enjoy with the beautiful NZ Mainland Cheese.

Haven’t had the chance to try either yet, such an incredibly busy week!

Not complaining!

Thanks Mary for your wonderful friendship.

This is one of the many things I’ll miss when I finally close next year.

THIS ITEM IS SOLD

 

A few years ago I photographed art I had sold inside a very sweet customers home.

In one photo we included her three white bunnies on an 18th Century English country elm chest of drawers.

Shown here, one side of a bookmark.

So many have asked if I have them in stock, and now I do!

They won’t last long, so come see me soon!
