August and September Furniture Containers

These past two months we've received a number of gorgeous pieces great and small. Although we import the lion's share of our furniture directly from England, we sometimes venture to the Netherlands, where we recently came across some truly exquisite specimens. So without further ado, here are a few of our most recent English and Dutch pieces!

Furniture Container for July 2010

It's that time of the month again:
antiques so pretty it feels like sin.
So feel free to browse this brief selection:
we hope our photos give you a smile.

Small Mahogany Bookcase

When we saw this small mahogany bookcase, we found the design so unusual that we had to get it.

9ft Mahogany Conference Table

This beautiful mahogany dining table arrived in great condition. Similar to the reproductions that we carry, this c1960 piece is a much higher quality table than you usually see from the '60's.

Antique Georgian Oak Bureau Bookcase

This exquisitely carved oak bureau bookcase dates back all the way to c1820, during the Georgian period. The carvings are very detailed—and the unique pull backplates even have sphinxes and pyramids on them.

Mahogany Campaign Chest of Drawers

At one point in time, this mahogany campaign chest would have furnished an RAF officer's quarters and disassembled into several pieces during relocations in the field. Today, the pieces have been permanently joined together to make this unique piece a more suitable addition for home use.

Restored Antique Victorian Walnut Bow Front Chest

This Victorian walnut bow front chest recently underwent a complete restoration at the hands of our cabinetmaker in England. The exquisite appearance and unparalleled sturdy structure of of this piece testify to his amazing skills.

Set of 4 Antique Oak Barley Twist Dining Chairs

We always keep our eyes peeled for barley twist furniture, particularly chairs and tables. This set of four oak dining chairs caught our eye and arrived in wonderful condition.

Antique Oak Barley Twist Pub Table

Pub tables, especially ones with barley twist legs, have always been one of our most popular items. Needless to say, we don't expect to keep this charming beauty for long.

Antique Victorian Flame Mahogany Wardrobe

We don't often acquire wardrobes, if only because of their relatively uncommon appearance in the antique market. But when we saw this exquisite flame mahogany wardrobe, it was destiny.

That's all for now—we hope you enjoyed all the pictures. Stay tuned for more updates and, for a more complete list of our inventory, you can always visit our reproduction and antique furniture catalog.
