French Music Cabinet

This French walnut marquetry music cabinet is of the highest quality and would have once graced a fine Parisian home (there is a Paris makers label attached).  The detailed veneers are enhanced with detailed ormolu mounts, fine brass galleries and a rouge marble top.

The piece is in perfect original condition and retains its ornate key.  The mirrored back makes the shelves an ideal place to display beautiful small items and height and shape of the piece will really enhance a clock, sculpture or beautiful floral arrangement displayed on the marble top.

Folio Stand

This handy Beechwood stand is just the thing to tidy up all those newspapers and magazines either at home or in a café. It will also be great for the display and sale of prints and etchings. While it only dates from the 1950’s, it is very well made and is in perfect condition.

Colonial Cedar Table

This lovely table is made of solid Australian Cedar and it is in wonderful condition.  Without the extension leaves it is a round table seating four with a diameter of 120cm.  When fully extended with the two leaves it is just over 2 meters long.

Yorkshire Ladderback Chairs

This matching set of four Yorkshire ladderback chairs are of a form which is not often seen.  The backs are higher than usual and the feet terminate with an elegant pad.  They are in great original condition and retain their timeworn rush seats.

Victorian Period Backstool

In the Victorian era the interest in collecting ancient furniture first emerged.  Designers in this period also created new items inspired by earlier times and this chair is an example of this practice.  It is a fairly “true” copy of an early 17th century backstool (these were the earliest chairs).

Set of Six Dining Chairs

These Chippendale inspired chairs date from the 1920’s.  They are made of a lovely dense Mahogany and while unrestored, they are perfectly solid and ready to be used.  They retain their original upholstery that is also in good condition.

Victorian Mahogany What-not

This great little piece could be used in almost any room in the house from the dining room with a display of treasured porcelain, the lounge with a reading lamp and a pile of magazines or even in a luxurious bathroom with a stack of fluffy towels. 

It is constructed from solid mahogany and the finish has been gently revived.

Smokers Bow Armchair

Smokers Bow’s must be amongst the most comfortable chairs ever made and this is an especially nice example with a lovely wide seat.  These chairs were traditionally found in hotels and clubs and are very strong and sturdy.  This chair dates from around 1890 and has survived in remarkably good order.  We have carefully revived the original finish, made some minor repairs and freshly waxed it.

$900

Mahogany Side-table

This early Victorian mahogany side-table is of the highest quality and it is in very good original condition having had the finish revived and the joints fully reglued in our workshop.  The pieced sides are an unusual and decorative feature.  The side-table will look especially striking if it's placed in a location, such as a hall, where it will be approached from the side.

$3800

Grecian Child's Rocker

This late Victorian rocker would make a lovely gift for a child.  The original ebonised finish has been revived and the chair retains its original gilt brass rosettes.  I love the mellow look of vintage fabric and had just enough antique raspberry damask (which came to me unused since the 1890's) to complete this special little rocker.

$495

English Boarded Coffer

This lovely planked coffer originates from Devon, England and it was made way, way back in the late 1600's.   It has a lovely rich patina and the original iron hardware.

17thC Oak Bible Box

We always love items with an interesting story, small furniture and examples of early oak and this little bible box is all of the above.

The box dates from the late 1600’s and as the name suggests it would have been used to store the family bible.  The stand is well made and of matching design but has been added later, probably during the first craze for early furniture in the 1880’s.

$900

Georgian Yorkshire Ladderback Armchair

This is one of the best 18th Century Yorkshire ladderback's that I've seen for many years.

It is in very fine original condition with good colour and patination. This chair has the advantage of being of large proportions with a wider seat and tall back.

Circa 1790.

Chippendale Revival Chairs

This set of six dining chairs date from the 1920's.  They are of the highest quality and fashioned from dense, finely grained mahogany accentuated with crisp, detailed carving.  They have been well cared for over the years and have built up a charming patina.  The chairs are slightly larger than some and extremely solid so are suited to everyday use.  They are currently covered in clean powder blue self-striped fabric that is slightly worn in spots.

Early Georgian Baby Walker

Our mothers loved these in the 1960's and 70's and no doubt thought that these were the latest and greatest modern gadget for their prized offspring.  Little did they know they had already been around for 200 years!  This Georgian baby walker is a real curiosity and usually only seen in books, it is made of elm around 1770.
