Probably dating from the 1920s, and originally a pine shoe shine box, this is now a very attractive rustic home accessory which offers two practical drawers. Left untouched, it retains its original paint, lovely rustic drawer and carrying handles.
Inside it is totally clean with no trace or marks of shoe polish, making it an ideal storage solution.
This is a lovely rustic item, full of charm with great proportions.
This is a very beautiful and decorative set of table top drawers, in oak and probably estate made. It offers two small drawers to the top, both of which have been rounded off at the top edge by the craftsman, with three full-width drawers below, including the deepest at the bottom to store larger items. Each drawer is routed so it slides nicely on the internal runners.
A lovely patina overall, and a particularly attractive and practical piece.
An absolutely gorgeous original French hallway coat rack from the 1920s.
It is a large size wall-mounted coat rack with five beautifully crafted double hooks (each having two hanging parts allowing it to accommodate a typically-sized family’s attire).
Lovely patina and details to the wood and metal work, and two eyelets for wall hanging. It is also in immaculate condition for its age.
This is perfect for an entrance hall or boot room, or even a great bathroom towel rack.
A true vintage home staple.

Beautiful, and characterful, small 1940s workshop cupboard. Possibly British, this cabinet can be used as a great little storage cupboard. It can be fixed to a wall or rest on a table or desk. Filled with various shelves and drawers, it is ideal as a receptacle for small personal items or stationery.
We fell in love with its character and have kept it completely untouched. It still retains its original handles, lock and hinges, and although this does not seem to be the original paint, it is very old and has not been repainted for many decades.
It has many imperfections, such as scratches, knocks and uneven paint which are commensurate with age. There are signs of historic woodworm which has been treated.
A cupboard with lovely proportions and immense charm that would look stunning in the vintage home.

Gorgeous French fishing basket or creel in woven willow, probably early 20th century. It is in excellent condition, apart from the little leather fastening, and the prettily patterned willow is in perfect condition.
We love the deep black colour and the amazing detail of the weaving throughout.
A charming item that can serve a variety of storage purposes or just as a unusual decorative piece.
Early 20th century (around 1915-25) car tool box that would have been affixed to the running board of a car of the period. Made of steel and painted in black, this box has an attractive handle and clever little lock that opens with the squeeze of a toggle located underneath. It has been repainted in grey on the inside and you can still see the holes for the screws that would have fixed it to the boards. The lock itself is stamped Eagle Lock Co, Terryville, USA. Eagle were a major manufacturer of locks in the USA from 1830 up to the end of WWII, including it is believed for tool boxes for the Model T Ford.
Nowadays this lovely shaped metal box would be an ideal storage solution or ideal to store the smaller tools used regularly in the home.
This is an unusual and very attractive piece from the turn of the century that probably started life as a small music cabinet but would now work marvellously as a small chest of drawers next to a bed or as an occasional chest/table alongside a sofa.
In original condition, it offers five drawers with original metal handles. Useful, flexible and charming storage solution for the home. We love the beautiful details and slight rustic charm.

Attractive shagreen-effect stationery table top drawers, each drawer with matching brass handle and a steel bound finger hole in the base to lift the paper or other items stored therein to retrieve them.
There are a few marks to the top commensurate with its age, (approximately 50-60 years).
They would work well either to store paper and other stationery items on a desk top, or as a beautiful set of drawers in the bedroom for make-up or jewellery.
A truly classic item.

A small and pretty black box in pine, in its original black paint. Its purpose is not clear, but we think it was used as a cash box in a small shop and dates from 1930s to 50s. The original catch and handle, together with pleasing proportions are lovely features.
Ideal now to store photos, stationery items, jewellery, or perhaps even some items in the kitchen.
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 Arctostaphylos uva-ursi – or more commonly the bearberry, an evergreen, trailing shrub with alternate, delicately-veined leaves and reddish papery bark and small bell-shaped, pinkish-white flowers. The bearberry is found in the subarctic Northern Hemisphere and, in the US and Canada, it is known as Kinnikinnick. This was collected by Fransson in Vaggeryd, a small community in the south of Sweden and pressed on 22 9 May 1939. The second is a root, stalk and flower of the white clover (Trifolium Repens), a herbaceous species of flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae, native to Europe and central Asia. This was also collected by the same botanist in the same area, pressed on 5 July 1939. (A total of 6 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.
In very good condition and dating back to the late 19th century, this is a beautiful antique coat rack or unusual kitchen shelf sourced in France.
This rack stands out because of its proportions, colour and original patina. It has 6 handy original hooks – for hats and coats in the hallway, a great decorative shelf for kitchenalia or an attractive bathroom piece.
