This 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.

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.
In good condition and probably dating back to the late 19th century, this is a beautiful and elegant antique open hallway coat rack with shelf.
The rack has 7 handy cast iron original hooks, the central one being slightly taller, marking the mid-point. There are three ‘eyes’ on the top of the shelf for it to be affixed to the wall.
We love the delicate hooks and the lovely white original paint.
A great addition to a hallway or could equally be used in the kitchen for hanging pots and pans and displaying beautiful items on the shelf above. Works also as an attractive bathroom piece.

Exquisite 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.
These are beautiful pieces of scientific artwork, both in good vintage condition. The detailed description of the annotations on each page adds to the interest and appeal.
Characterful 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.

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.

Original and good quality French wooden rosary with cross. Probably used by a priest or monk and worn during religious services, these rosaries have become highly fashionable, both as dress accessories and as decorative items for the home, for example hung from bed-posts or draped around pictures.
This rosary probably dates from the 1920s and is in very good condition. 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 wooden cross at the end, all joined by wires and tiny wooden links.
A beautiful accessory for the home.
Dimensions
90cm long from top to bottom when hanging on a hook. Cross is 8cm long.
English oak stool with beautifully smooth chamfered slab top and four splayed, faceted stick legs. Small but sturdy and substantial. Would look great next to a fire, in an inglenook or just used to help reach those higher shelves in the kitchen.
Could also be used as a little side table in a restricted space to rest a coffee cup.
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.
