Exquisite pair of pressed flowers, from a botanical collection by Swedish botanist Lars Olof Asplund, created in 1958 and 1959. Two pressed flowers comprising a Bogbean, collected and pressed in July 1958, and a Black Bindweed, collected and pressed by the same botanist but on 23 July 1959.
These are beautiful pieces of artwork, both in good vintage condition. The detailed description of the annotations on each page adds to the interest and appeal. Would look wonderful properly framed, and suitable for most rooms in the home.
Early 20th century Hungarian pine table, with original green paint and white over paint, and pretty cabriole legs.
This is a country piece, in vintage condition, which seems largely untouched (except some repair to the left side where the top meets the legs). It has some charming wear and tear, commensurate with age and use. Its unusual dimensions mean it would make an impressive side or hall table, or indeed a desk. It has a practical deep drawer to the front.
We love its unusual proportions and it would make a charming addition to a country farmhouse and town house.

Stylish vintage French number “5” from an old signage. It is made of timber background painted off white in the number “5” also painted, but in black.
A few little vintage knocks and imperfections give it charming character. A pretty accessory that looks stylish rested on a piece of furniture or hung on a door.
A 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.

It’s not often we see banks of drawers this attractive and with this size, and in such good condition.

Beautiful Thonet style rocker stained beech, with original tan coloured leather seat and back with lovely original metal studs.
In good used condition, it rocks very well and the curved design of this classic piece is enjoying increasing popularity. Some age and wear to the frame but overall sound, and a piece that shows it is not a modern reproduction.
A stylish addition to a contemporary bedroom or sitting room.

Very well executed 19th century portrait of a European Gentleman, oil on canvas. There is evidence of a signature and date (1882??) in the top left corner but it is very difficult to make out. There is a beautiful artistic quality to this piece, and the subject is clearly middle-European judging by his attire. The painting has been professionally repaired by the previous owner (see back image), and there is one small area to the bottom where the paint has been lost (see image), but this does not to our minds detract from its overall quality and charm.
This is a beautiful piece of art that would look stunning in the modern home.

Good size and very interesting images, both in very good condition with no apparent foxing. The detailed description of the annotations on each page adds to the interest and appeal.
