Solid walnut chest, (very heavy, no veneer!) with two short and three long drawers. Beautifully executed incised decoration to the perimeter of each drawer front and Gothic canted edges to the drawer frames. Superb condition, this is a very handsome and useful piece of furniture.

Very Pretty Balloon Back Chair - SOLD

A very shapely side or bedroom chair dating from the 1860/70's with delicate carving to the back. Sympathetically restored and newly re-caned this chair is in excellent condition.

Arts & Crafts period Trellis or Lattice Back Chairs - £320.00 the pair

A pair of very unusual and attractive "his and hers"chairs. "Liberty of London" in their design, they have all of the elements made popular by the arts and crafts movement. Restored with new rush seats. We have another pair of these chairs awaiting new seats.

Single Bergere Armchair Upholstery Project! - SOLD

A single mahogany armchair with newly replaced cane bergere panels to the arms and back. The frame is top quality with excellent crisp carving to the arms, claw/ball feet and lower apron. A perfect project for someone wanting to try simple upholstery, the chair needs a platform base and two box cushions made to finish it off to fit in with your room decor!

Handsome Liberty Stick Back Armchair - £245.00

A very shapely and comfortable armchair. Rich mahogany colouring complimented by pin stuffed upholstery finished in a Mackintosh cream fabric. Please e-mail for more photos.

A Rare Pair of Wavy Stick Back Low Ebonised Chairs with Cane Seats - Liberty & Co Catalogue 1890 - £350.00 the pair

 This is an exceptional pair of top quality Arts & Crafts Movement ebonised "His and hers" low chairs. They are nursing chair height so possibly may have originally been made for children. They are both in original unmolested condition. The seats have been recaned by us and are therefore perfect and good for another 40 years! No replacement parts, loose joints or damage to the framework of either the armchair or side chair.

This particular design is a recognised Liberty retail line of the 1890's, and has all of the "Arts and crafts" design features advocated by the major designers of the time. However what sets this pair apart is the fact that they have canework seats - most of the rare examples that do become available are invariably armchairs with rush seats - these two may have been a special commission - it is highly unusual to have a matching pair.

For the serious collector. 

Superb Late Regency Games/Card Table - £470.00

A beautiful late Regency/early Victorian (circa 1830) card table veneered in thick excellent quality flame mahogany with boxwood string banding and elegantly turned legs. Hidden interior lined section for cards/games etc. Some historic movement of the pine carcass wood but now consolidated. Please e-mail for more photos.

An early 19th Century Oak "Throne Chair" £95.00

As you can see a totally unique chair! Bobbin turned details and very sturdily built. The upholstery is French chateau tapestry with ornate braid to the edge. We have replaced the cane weave to the back with a complex snowflake/star of David pattern, a real show stopper!

Set of Four Nantucket/Boston "Windsor" Stick Back Chairs- £750.00

 A magnificent set of Nantucket/American Stick or Fan Back chairs - two "Nantucket" carver armchairs and two "Boston" dining chairs probably made in the late 19th/early 20th century. These are top quality chairs of generous size. The seats are each made from one piece of solid elm with parts of the chair top including the carver arms made from yew. A rare find! Currently American hand made copies cost from £400 per side chair. Please e-mail for further details.
