Restoration of German Terrestrial Globe

Restoration of German Terrestrial Globe

Taking apart, removing old glues, packing the interior for stability, re-glueing and holding glues together.
Then watercoloring the damages out.
Wonderful outcome.

Some recent re purchases I sold 20 years ago.

Even though retiring soon, it’s impossible to not buy these magnificent pieces back.

A rare George III solid yew-wood pembroke table – UK1881

I’ve enjoyed having this beautiful 18th century English yew-wood side table in my apartment for the past few years.
Being a dealer and having such special pieces, I have the enjoyment of living with, then selling once replacing.

I’ll truly miss this table, however living in an apartment forces one to cull!

This table will be back in my showroom next week.

 

An 18th Century George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers

An 18th Century George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers

I’m sure many won’t believe this story.

30 years ago I purchased this attractive 18th century, George III figured
mahogany chest of drawers, from fellow dealer Guy Page.
I remember the deal! Crazy thing is, I have dealt in country oak from nearly day one in 1990,
so I placed the chest aside.
About 25 or so years ago, we did a few repairs, drawer runners etc… On a trip to UK,
I purchased the Georgian style brass swan-neck handles
and had a Georgian wire-bow key made for the lock.
I recently bought to my workshop from storage and a customer liked, so we finally spent a couple of days finishing the restoration.
How’s that! 30 years!!!
Anyway, the chest is on hold until she returns in a week or so.

The three plank moulded top, above two short, then three long figured mahogany book-matched, cock-beaded graduated,
oak lined drawers, having later, appropriate brass swan-neck handles.
Resting on shaped bracket feet.

Good overall colour and patination.
