A pretty Victorian Aesthetic movement gilded and ebonised writing desk or bonheur du Jour. The top with an ebonised balustrade of turned spindles above a pair of doors with hand painted panels, framed by gilt mouldings and Amboyna wood. The panels depict a pair of medieval loves exchanging love notes by dove, on an architectural Gothic background. Opening the doors reveals a delicate interior in birch and satin birch, with fretwork valencing and further fretwork to the front of the letter rack, over two rosewood draws with flush boxwood knobs. The draw to the base contains an adjustable, tooled leather writing slope and to the right, a pen holder and the original glass inkwell. All supported on slender ebonised, carved and gilded turned legs, with ceramic casters, separated by a stretcher and shelf.

A rare set of six William and Mary high-backed dining chairs in oak. This fine set of chairs is a provincial example of the walnut chairs with caned backs that were popularised in the late 17th century. This set of chairs is a remarkable survival, with no damage to their pedimented panelled backs, finials, scrollwork front rails and turned legs.
Originally, they might have had squab cushions for added comfort, and we can have these made for you if desired.

A very fine and rare Anglo-Indian carved oak box settle in teak, very much based on the form of an Italian cassone. The back features three magnificently carved vignettes depicting an elephant fighting a tiger amongst palm trees, a ship at sea and lastly, a group of noblemen being drawn by oxen in a fine cart. These panels are bordered by a trailing vine decoration. The subjects would suggest a southern Indian, or possibly Ceylonese origin. The sinuous scrolling arms are carved to depict a mythical creature and they frame the box seat with a hinged lid, which has an elaborately pierced front panel.

Antique furniture
Antique furniture is almost infinite in its variety. From the most humble of beginnings, furniture characterises its period, taking on the influences of the age.
For example, Victorian furniture represents the 19th century British interest in earlier periods, and the style of the furniture reflects the age’s influences, such as the Gothic, Renaissance and Jacobean eras. Antique oak furniture has endured the centuries, and remains very popular, especially in period, or country residences. Victorian furniture made of oak often emulated the 16th and 17th century style of fine furniture, to decorate the 19th century home in a revival style.
Antique French furniture
Antique French furniture also offers a large variety of styles, from the understated farmhouse style, where fruitwoods are simply carved and joined into tables, chairs and beds. Fine antique French furniture utilised the beauty of more exotic woods, such as mahogany, rosewood and kingwood and paired it with the gleaming ormolu mounts often seen on the opulent Louis XV furniture of the 18th century and later revivals. The later French Empire style was more neoclassical, and became sought after all over Europe.
Antique bedroom furniture
Antique bedroom furniture is an often overlooked area, but such a room can be transformed by the addition of period pieces. Whether antique beds to make a statement, or a pair of elegant and understated antique chairs, these details add character and depth. Antique bedroom furniture could also feature antique screens, an excellent way of creating a partition in a room for a dressing area or even a bath.
Antique tables and chairs
In a principal room, there are a few essential pieces of antique furniture that give the interior character. An antique table is an incredibly versatile antique, whether the smallest occasional table, or a grand antique dining table surrounded by a set of 19th century dining chairs. An antique chair is also a lovely way of introducing an antique, as they can be easily incorporated by upholstering them to suit the scheme of the room.
