Fabulous 19th century set of five shelves. The sides are painted in a beautiful original antique ochre colour, and there is a lovely scroll design to the feet with pilasters to the sides. The pine shelves themselves have been left unpainted and are showing signs of age and use over the last century.
Offering a good deal of storage for books or displaying favourite objects in the sitting room, or crockery and such like in the kitchen, this is a very stylish and practical piece.

An unusual vintage decorator’s ladder – or trestle – complete with original chain and fittings. This is perfect for re-purposing as a display piece and could be used for example in a large bathroom to hang towels and bathrobes, or in a living area to display books or collectables.
We have also seen these in conservatories and in gardens as differentiating display pieces for flowers and plants.
In good vintage condition with some patina, these ladders are increasingly hard to find nowadays.

Stunning antique kitchen rack in original paint and fantastic patina. Hooks along the top for pots and pans, with places for crockery or other kitchen items at the top and bottom. The design is typical of the Brittany region of France, where it would have hung over a range or above a table or kitchen cupboard.
It is completely untouched, with beautiful original paint and lovely detailing to the shelves. The ochre colour of the paint and the overall patina is absolutely amazing.
A unique piece that would look striking in today’s kitchen.

An attractive pair of vintage Indian wooden exercise clubs, probably late 1800s as these were fashionable at the time as a means of exercise by swinging to build muscle strength through resistance.
Good quality and in very good condition with a lovely patina to the wood.
They would make for an interesting accessory when not being used as part of your morning routine!
Very pretty painted 1930s/40s mini haberdashery cabinet. On small bun feet, this pine cabinet features five drawers all with matching knobs, one deep drawer at the bottom for larger items and three of the remaining four are segmented into small compartments for smaller items such as cottons or needles. Perfectly-sized to sit on a table top or on a bedroom side table, this mid-century cabinet could be used either for haberdashery bits and pieces or for jewellery, make-up or indeed for smaller items in the kitchen.
We love its versatility and the way the drawers are segmented. A very pretty and practical piece.

This 19th century pieces oozes style and we love the original striking chippy paint and patina as well as the lovely curved ends of the rack itself.
An absolute classic for the entrance hall or boot room, or perhaps even for the family bathroom.

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 the yellow star of Bethlehem, a Eurasian flowering plant species in the family Liliaceae. It is widespread in central Europe with scattered populations in Great Britain, Spain and Norway to Siberia and Japan. This was collected in Vaggeryd, a small community in the south of Sweden and pressed on 22 April 1939. The second is a root, stalk and flower of red clover (Trifolium Pratense), a herbaceous species of flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae, native to Europe, Western Asia, and northwest Africa, This was also collected by the same botanist in the same area, pressed on 15 June 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.
