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.
When we saw this small mahogany bookcase, we found the design so unusual that we had to get it.
This beautiful nine-foot mahogany conference 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Furniture Container for May 2010
I know I'm a little late on this, seeing as it's June already, but we've been awfully busy lately. However, we did get a lot of great antiques in last month, so it should be worth the wait!
This Victorian sideboard arrived in great condition with plenty of gorgeous carvings all over it. We usually have a few sideboards or hunt cupboards similar to this lying around the shop, but this one is particularly unique, since it has carved cherubs and a man and woman pair. What I would consider stock Victorian carvings included lion heads and floral motifs, both of which this one has, but it is unusual (although not rare) to find such distinct carvings. You can also really see the craftsman's touch in many of the more detailed carvings.
People are always asking us about buttoned leather furniture, so here is May's beauty. I don't anticipate this one will be here long, given the great condition that it is in. (Side note: we will soon be carrying English reproduction buttoned leather furniture!)
Gate leg tables are one of our most popular items. This one is especially unique, however, because of its large size relative to most antique gate legs of the same style and period.
This Victorian writing desk arrived in fantastic condition with a gorgeous quartersawn oak grain (sometimes called "tiger oak" for its distinctive striped pattern) and a green leather writing surface that appears to have been replaced circa 1960.
This lovely Edwardian nest of tables is an uncommon find, since antique nests of tables aren't very easy to come by. A rich patina has settled into the mahogany in these tables, which helps to give them their heterogeneous complexion.
Many more wonderful antiques arrived on May's container, but that's all for now.
November Furniture Container
We got a new container packed full of gorgeous antiques a few weeks ago and we've been so busy that I'm only now just getting around to posting a few pictures here. We've got more furniture coming in next month, so this won't be all. Be sure to check the catalog section of this site for the most up-to-date items. In the meantime, enjoy!
The mahogany desk shown above on the left is actually French, so it is an uncommon item for us. The desktop actually slides out about a foot from its closed position, making this desk even more unique.
This mahogany beauty is a new model of desk for us, modeled after a particular style of formal furniture dating back to the 19th-century American West.

August Furniture Container
We got a new container in two weeks ago but it was so full of great furniture that it is taking me this long to get some of them into a post. Enjoy!
It's pretty common to get one or two antique pub tables in on a container but this one is a bit larger than most at 3.5' x 6' when opened.
The quartersawn oak card table shown here has three drawers and dates back to the Victorian period (around 1890), and retains all original components.

New Furniture Container
This month's container arrived a few days ago and we thought we'd share a couple of our favourite items with you.
When we found the grandfather clock in England, we knew we had to bring it home. The clock dates back all the way to the Georgian period, around 1815, and is made of quartersawn oak and flame mahogany. This particular clock is unusual because it is in near perfect condition, with very few nicks and a new French polish.
The cane-backed armchair is one of a set of 6 that arrived in excellent condition, which is unusual for cane furniture. They date from c1920.
The adorable little side table, made with flame mahogany, is a c1920 reproduction of a Georgian Period antique.
