Out Of StockGorgeous poster of a painting of a Butterbur by artist Oktar Zejbrlik, published in 1953. This poster is an original, used in Czech state education for nurses to understand the role and value of Butterbur for medicinal purposes (combatting fevers and allergies). The colours are truly beautiful. Supported by pine rods at the top and bottom with a hanging hook. Would bring real character to any room, and it would be very difficult to find another!

Out Of StockThis is a very elegant and dainty vintage table or small desk from France. Most probably dating from the 1930s, this attractive French vintage table features a small practical drawer to the front and beautiful elegant tapered legs.
We love the original handle, which is a very lovely feature. There is some imperfection to the drawer, and a little repair to the top at the back of the table which is hardly visible (particularly once positioned against a wall).
A great addition to an empty corner or could also be used as a children’s desk.

Out Of StockExquisite set of two pressed flowers: one from a botanical collection by the famous Swedish botanist Erik Asplund (see: http://www2.nrm.se/fbo/hist/asplund/asplund.html.e), created in 1937 and another collected in 1933 by Nora Stromberg.
Asplund’s flower is the Statice Armeria Thrift (Sea Thrift) and Stromberg’s is a Centaurea Cyanus (black ball cornflower). Asplund was the curator for the Swedish Museum for Natural History from 1927 to 1953 and he has been associated with naming more than 60 new species. His collection is still housed and maintained in the Swedish Department of Botany.

Out Of StockCharacterful old pine table with drawer to the front, in attractive ‘period’ green paint.
This table has been loved for many decades with signs of age and use obvious throughout, including several dints to the top and wear marks around the handle. Some evidence of old woodworm in a few places underneath but this has been treated and cannot be seen.
A good sized table that would work well as a small breakfast table, a desk for a study or perhaps as a hall table for a large house. A great piece in a strong colour.

Out Of StockA very unusual lockable safe of some age, with original working lock and key. Manufactured by Charles Henry Griffiths & Sons of 43 Cannon Street, London, who were specialist fire and thief-proof safe manufacturers at the end of the 19th century.
Inside, the safe retains its original paint and lock, with three shelves, two brass chains to support the door and a pretty little drawer with knob in the corner. It also has two carrying handles. We considered applying oil to remove the rust but, actually, it is the earthy original rust colour and beautiful patina which give this piece its unique character.
The inside is equally beautiful, and ideal for stationery or other valuables on a desk, or even for jewellery or as a make-up cupboard. It would also look good anywhere in the home as an unusual stand-alone piece. A rare and very useable find.

A beautiful accessory for the home.
