- Will seat 8 with the extra leaf inserted. This is a mahogany pedestal table in the regency style, with lovely brass paw feet. It is light and delicate, yet can still seat a large number of people when the leaf is in. It’s painted in a grey/green colour, with a small cream line where the inlay is on the top surface.
- 38 and 3/4″ wide, 5′ long without the leaf, 7′ with the leaf.

Lovely old dresser, 7 ‘ high, with lots of storage. It is very basically made, out of pine, but with some details that make it a bit special; the cut out shapes on the top and the herringbone tongue and groove on the doors. Because of it’s history there is worm damage , but I have treated and filled the holes. There are also many layers of paint, which I haven’t removed but rubbed down and painted over. This is just an undercoat. It is one piece and very heavy and I cannot deliver it .

This is a sweet little table, with it’s brass claw feet, ideal where space is an issue because both leaves drop down. I painted it a pale grey.

This looks a brighter blue in the photo, because of the flash; it’s darker in the flesh. I rubbed the edges back, which gives it a bit more definition. I love these handles; they have a slight copperyness which looks good against the blue .
- 43cm deep
- 97cm wide
- 98cm high

Based on the design of an antique silver table, this is a strong statement piece. I painted it a dark blue, with a pale wash to bring out the carving.

The chest is sold, sorry. The Victorian mirror is a lovely shape and pivots on its stand .It is painted the same dark blue, and has a little pocket for precious rings. The mirror is not bevelled, but is old and therefore has some marks on it.

- This was painted with your classic chocolate brown, impossible-to-get-off paint, so it was a labour of love to hand strip it!

- This is two separate pieces that I thought worked well together as a childs bedroom or playroom storage cupboard, hence the juicy green inside!
- The base is a real piece of peasant furniture, probably home-made, out of elm, with beautiful bird carving around the top. My neighbour in the yard, Tia, says she has seen similar pieces in India . I have no idea where this is from or how old it is, but I think it is a bit special!
- The top is a pine cupboard to which I added shelves.

- This is a piece about which there has been much discussion! We suspect it has had a few different manifestations; the dovetail joints on the top surface suggest it has a bit of age about it. It’s a kitchen or pantry piece, workman-like, possibly used to store preserves, although the hinged top suggests air circulation, so maybe bread or cheese.
- It has 3 wide , moveable pine shelves inside, so it could make a lovely linen cupboard

- This is my pride and joy at the moment! It’s a solid mahogany Scottish chest of drawers, hand-painted in ‘Octavius’ by Colortrend, with antique gold lettering. It has a secret drawer, hence THE SECRET LIES WITHIN! I left the handles in their original lovely state. 51″ wide, 38″ high, 2′ deep.
- The mirror is contemporary, but I like it’s simple, classic shape. I painted it in the same very dark , purpley grey. e110.
- On the left is a C19th antique lacquered papier-mache table top, hand-painted and inset with mother-of-pearl, made into a hanging wall piece ,e185.
- On the right is an antique metal wall candle-sconce, e85 and one of the small green-oak block tables, e120.

- This is not the exact chair I have in the shop; the pattern of inlaid mother of pearl is different, but the structure is exactly the same. Looks amazing in a hall or bathroom.

- A lovely timber with marquetry on the drawers that give it a 1930’s feel. I love the cabriole legs too!
- Contemporary chrome desk fan e65
- The bent wood arm chair has been sold.
- The white painted WORK I also have in rusty steel, together with LOVE. I got these made in a decent size so they look really strong up on the wall or on a shelf. e75 per word.

- In beautiful condition. It’s big, but not too big and wide enough for a man’s suit. A lot of old wardobes weren’t designed for men with modern-sized shoulders, but this one is.
- 4′ 11″ wide, 7′4″ high, 2′1″ deep

I took out the old hooks, fitted a new hanging rail and painted it pale cream to lighten and freshen it up. I added the hand painted bird as a surprise!

- this is newly made but I thought it was interesting; I like the curly shelves! It’s free standing, but could be built in to the corner of a room. Apologies for fuzzy photo….

- This is a lovely small scale piece, that could go in a kitchen or a living room. I painted it a subtly distressed blue/grey. The interior of the top cabinet is very dark grey, almost black, which shows up anything displayed really well. I replaced the handles with little white porcelain ones.
- 37″ wide,17 and 1/2″ deep, 7′ high

- Also vintage gilt overmantle e95
- Brass desk light with white glass shade, e85. The light is reproduction, but the metal has been patinated, so it looks good!

- This is a similar style to the contemporary Indonesian tables with the folding base, but it is heavier and the wood is darker and beautifuly carved, so I think it has a bit of age about it, hence the price.

- Painted in a light grey/blue with a pale wash so it looks slightly faded. I loved the carving on this piece; it was a mahogany veneer but looks French or Scandinavian in a pale colour. It has loads of storage space and would be lovely in a big, contemporary kitchen.
