Lovely Midwinter 'Riverside' dinner service, by John Russel from Royal Stafford, that includes a serving plate, 2 large lidded serving dishes, 2 small serving dishes, 2 gravy boats and saucer, 6 dinner plates, 6 side plates and 6 tea plates.

A tall imposing French oak mirror with a lovely warm colour, that would make a stunning statement on any wall or propped up against a wall. These mirrors are a lot more versatile than you would think, they reflect light and space in dark spaces, a lounge, dinning room or hallway, great as a full length mirror in a bedroom or dressing room and we love antique mirrors in bathrooms, to soften what is quite often a hard, clinical space.  There are 2 fluted columns running up the sides decorated midway with acanthus leaves, that run up to a intricately carved pediment top also decorated with 2 acanthus leaves. The carved frame sits around an old bevelled mirror which has a few areas of foxing. There is a small piece missing from the foot of the frame on the right hand side, you can buy it as it is, but if you would like it renovated, we can do that too. Just give us a call or email and we will price it up for you.

This is a stunning piece of mid-century furniture with great detailing and above all extremely useful. It is likely a stripey mahogany but it has faded to a lovely walnut patina. It has 4 slimline drawers, each with 2 copper inlays with feather detailing each side of a small tapered 'cone' shaped pull, one drawer has a green baize covered sectional divider for cutlery.  There are 4 wide cupboards, again with tapered pulls, the lovely thing about them is that the grain of the wood follows through the whole length of the piece. Inside 1 cupboard are 3 pull out linen shelf drawers and the left 2 cupboards are fitted with a slimline shaped shelf. The top section has an attractive curve to the rear of the piece and the base has a slight curved skirt which joins onto the slimline tapered legs. This sideboard is really evocative of the era, a really unique piece that would look as good upstairs as in a lounge or kitchen diner...

Vintage Champagne Tap / Corkscrew, designed with an Archimedean bladed helix with two holes in the tip and Prince of Wales Feathers on the petcock handles. Instead of 'popping' a Champagne cork, you would screw this tap through the cork and it would act as a valve. The threaded flared discharge nozzle secures a fine screen to filter debris from the champagne, wine or other liquid. The tap, with the valve closed, was screwed into the cork in a carbonated beverage. The bottle was turned upside down to cover the end of the tap, the valve opened, and the contents were discharged by the pressure in the bottle. When the desired amount was removed the valve was closed and the tap was left in the bottle to maintain pressure.

S.Maw & Son were known as a medical instrument manufacturers. They manufactured at least three different versions of this type of tap.

A exquisite pair of footstools with charming detailing that embody the design aesthetic of this period, that sit on tiny, fluted, glazed bun feet. Beaded white roses, made from shades of white and greys, sit on a tapestry background in purple and greens.

They sit on veneered bases, with a detailed arrow stripe towards the base, with some loss of veneer in places. We did think about renovating the beadwork on these...but every time we went to start, we decided that we quite liked them as they are!

The high energy of quartz gives rose quartz the property of enhancing love in virtually any situation. In turn, this lowers stress. All in all it is a very soothing and happy stone.

Fine quality 'hot cast' Bronze Stag mounted on an attractive marble block base. Superbly well modelled, it is very lifelike bronze.

This high quality bronze is a hot cast recast of an original produced using the 'lost wax' (cire perdue) process and bears the replica signature of the famous sculptor 'Milo.'

Born in Paris in 1939, Milo lived most of his childhood in Andalusia, Spain. Influenced by an artistic family background, he began sculpting at the age of seventeen. After apprenticing with several accomplished sculptors both in America and Spain, he began his own work focusing equally on steel and bronze. The characteristic rough texture and movement of line makes Milo's work easily identifiable in both cement and bronze.

A great aged Philips 'Challenge' 10 inch terrestrial table globe. The globe itself has faded to parchment-like hues (the oceans would originally have been a sky-blue), there are patches of damage and the glaze has crackled, all adding to the vintage feel. The globe is constructed from two pasteboard hemispheres with hand-applied composite paper gores, joined at the equator. It features the trademark Everite stepped black bakelite base with a die cast meridian, and a patinated aluminium time dial at the North Pole.

George Philip & Son began as a map and atlas publisher in Liverpool, England in 1834.  In 1902, the firm relocated to London and emerged as one of the major globe producers of the 20th century.

COMPOSITION:  Pasteboard, Metal & Bakelite

This is a design by Mark Mercy who was a designer with the Stanley Hagler Co. Stanley Hagler started in the 1950's, his first piece, a pink flower covered bangle, settled on the wrist of the Duchess of Windsor, and his jewellery was followed by Vogue and featured in New York fashion shows throughout the 50's and 60's. He was a one man operation until 1979 when Mark Mercy joined the company as an apprentice. They worked together until Mr Hagler died in 1996 and Mark Mercy continues to design under this brand today. With intricate and lavish designs, Stanley Hagler costume jewellery is highly sought after.

This large mirror has a more neoclassical feel to it, that would make a stunning statement on any wall or propped up against a wall. These mirrors are a lot more versatile than you would think, they reflect light and space in dark spaces, a lounge, dinning room or hallway, great as a full length mirror in a bedroom or dressing room and we love antique mirrors in bathrooms, to soften what is quite often a hard, clinical space.  This has a uniform pattern running all around it with leaves and berries, fluting and scrollwork, with more detailed leaves in the corners and cross ribbons to the centre over the leaves and berries on each side. The carved frame sits around a mirror which has a few small areas of foxing. You can buy it as it is, but if you would like it renovated, we can do that too.

This print has the wording 'Baxter Patent Oil Printing 11 Northampton Square' printed just under the image on the right hand side, it is a 20's fake. In the 1920's the price of Baxters prints went through the roof, hence lots of fakes were made, of which this is probably one. This is a pretty picture in it's own right, that looks to have been handcut from a larger piece...

A smart set of 12 silver plate grapefruit/teaspoons in a neo classical style, with pointed cups that are decorated in a relief and etched leaf pattern, thin stripes on the neck and an ornately decorated tail, in a material lined pretty green faux snakskin box with two front clasps. The cups are stamped with 12g and the makers mark. It is likely that these are French  as you can identify French silver plate by a number alongside a maker's mark. The number refers to the grams of silver used in the electroplating process. So, a spoon may bear the mark "12 G" or "12 Gr," indicating that 12 g of silver created the item. This set is as pretty as it is useful, a wonderful gift...

A pair of cast iron decorative frames, adorned with cherubs, flowers and Rococo detailing, in an asymmetrical design.

The backs have 2 raised holes' with wires attached for wall hanging. Wonderfully heavy, they would enhance any of your photographs or portraits placed within them, or they could be backed with mirrored glass.

A wonderful set of heavy 3, brass handled copper saucepans. The 2 bigger pans still have their tin lining and the smaller pan is back to the copper. An occasional application of brass or copper cleaner is all it takes to keep them clean. They are safe to use or you could display....but that would be a shame as copper conducts heat very well and its great to cook with equipment like this...

Charming electric Metamec bakelite alarm clock with pistachio coloured surround in working order, (except for the tick/silent facility). It has to be plugged in and you have to turn the 'start' button a few times to get it started. The alarm works and emits a buzzing sound when set off. On the reverse there are knobs for setting the alarm, starting the clock, setting the time and silencing the tick.

Metamec, was a small factory based in Dereham, Norfolk, England, that started making synchronous electric clocks in 1947. They stopped making clocks when the company went into receivership in 1984.

It is wired but we have removed the plug. As with all pre-used electrical items they should be checked and installed by a qualified electrician. We cannot be liable for the purchaser not following our advice on this...

COLOUR: Green, Black & Red

COMPOSITION:  Metal, Bakelite & Plastic

DIMENSIONS: (W)136mm    (H)130mm   (D)75mm

CONDITION:  Fair

FAULTS:  The green plastic shows some age related colouring. The original flourecscent paint on the numbers and hands has deteriorated as is normal with this type of paint on older items. There is some patination to the metal. The tick/silent knob is not working, so the clock runs silent.
