This is a lovely French wooden rosary with metal crucifix. These rosaries were designed to be worn by priest over their vestments during religious services. Nowadays, these rosaries have become highly fashionable as decorative items for the home, for example hung from bed-posts or draped around pictures.
This rosary is in very good condition and has a bit of age to it. Handmade with obvious care, the rosary comprises 60 hand carved beads (including one in the shape of a heart where the hoop joins) and a metal crucifix at the end, all joined by wires and tiny wooden links.
A beautiful accessory for the home.
Dimensions
125 cm long from top to bottom when hanging on a hook. Cross is 8cm long.
Attractive pair of pressed flowers, comprising one Scallion (Varlok) collected in April 1958 by Swedish botanist Lars-Olof Asplund and one Valerian (Valeriana Officinalis) collected by botanist Ingrid Cahp in 1937.
These are lovely pieces of artwork, both in good vintage condition (with slight discoloration of the paper associated with age).
The detailed description of the annotations on each page adds to the interest and appeal.
Would look wonderful properly framed or very simply hung on a peg.
Pretty set of rustic mid-century hooks in old paint. The rack comprises 5 hooks making it ideal for use in the kitchen to hang many useful utensils, or in the utility and bathroom in addition to the hallway.
Exquisite and very delicate pair of vintage pressed flowers, from a botanical collection by Swedish botanist Lars Olof Asplund, created in 1958 and 1959. Two pressed flowers comprising a Rumex Acetocella, collected and pressed in 1958, and a Sedum Acre, collected and pressed by the same botanist but in 1959.
These are beautiful pieces of artwork, both in excellent vintage condition. The detailed description of the annotations on each page adds to the interest and appeal.
They would look wonderful properly framed or very simply hung on string and peg for a very simple natural look.
This is a very pretty French Napoleon III armchair from the 19th century.
The chair is strong and springs are sturdy, and the blush pink velvet upholstery is in very good condition overall (except for a tiny tear by the left arm which is hardly visible – as shown on photo).
We love the pretty brass studding just above the front and back feet.
A lovely classic piece to be used as it is or to be re-upholstered in your choice of fabric. Would look great in any room of the home.

Very lovely and attractive French still life in the naive style, oil on canvas, of a jug with grapes. Dating from the end of the 19th century, this painting has beautifully subtle tones.
We love the worn out edges on the canvas (“dans son jus”), which is a testament to its age, and giving it immense charm.
This is an elegant table sourced in France, most probably dating from the turn of the century. It is in great vintage condition and features a small practical drawer to the front and tapered legs.
A true classic and great way to fill an empty corner or it can be used as a small desk anywhere in the home.

Fabulous rustic continental cupboard in original paint.
The cupboard has two doors with an internal shelf behind, and a practical drawer at the top with original handles. More shelving could easily be added internally, though these types of cupboard are often adapted to make small wardrobes by adding a hanging pole beneath the existing shelf.
Aside from unusually retaining its original feet, what is most striking about this piece is the original, stunning paint, with evidence of the original blue and white overlaid about 100 years ago with a stunning deep ochre.
Offering capacious and flexible storage, this is a very stylish and original piece that would make a statement in any room.

Here is a small but strikingly executed portrait of a man, in oil on canvas.
Wearing a hat, the subject’s features are marvellously captured and the eyes are particularly well done. Probably British, this characterful and atmospheric portrait is unframed and in excellent condition for its age.
Very attractive 1920s leather and vellum travelling trunk in good and original condition. This hardy little trunk has original travel labels on one side, undamaged and original studding all round and four larger studs as feet underneath. The handle has been repaired and all corners are reinforced in leather on the top and bottom. The lid hinges are all in good order and both front catches work properly and click in easily.
The trunk appears to have been used for a variety of purposes in the past – storage of clothing or similar given there are a few punched holes in the base to allow air to circulate.
A stylish piece in good condition for its age and in very good proportions. Would sit well on top of a wardrobe or cupboard or as storage in any room.

This French armchair, made around 1890, is elegant and very decorative, currently covered with a lovely velvet upholstery in cherry. The current upholstery has a lovely worn feel and some of the piping is far from intact, but we think this adds to its charm.
Alternatively there is scope for reupholstery in any of your chosen fabric. The chair is strong and sturdy, and sits on original turned ebonised legs and beautiful casters.

Attractive pair of pressed flowers, both collected during the same 1939 expedition by Swedish botanist Torvald Fransson. These are lovely pieces of artwork, both in good vintage condition (with slight discoloration of the paper that is evidence of its pre-war heritage). One is a pressed root, stalk and flower of Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris), an herbaceous perennial that is a wildflower and member of the rose family found in Europe and Greeland. This was collected in Skillingaryd, south Sweden and pressed on 24 May 1939. The second is a root, stalk and flower of an unidentified plant which is a member of the Leguminosae (or pea family) but we think it is probably wood-bitter vetch (given reference to orobus) which grows along the Atlantic coasts of Europe. This was also collected by the same botanist in the same area, pressed on 24 May 1939. (A total of 5 pairs from the same botanist is available.)
The detailed description of the annotations on each page adds to the interest and appeal.
Would look wonderful properly framed or very simply hung on a peg.
