Set of Four Carved Empire Revival Dining Chairs
A matched set of four unusually handsome carved timber dining chairs, probably dating from the early to mid-20th century and made in the grand Empire and Regency Revival tradition. Each chair has a wonderfully sculptural gondola-form back, with carved swan-neck terminals, sweeping side rails and turned decorative front legs.
Fortnum & Mason Floral Jar, c.1960s-80s
A wonderfully cheerful vintage Fortnum & Mason floral china jar, dating from the mid-to-late 20th century, most likely c.1960s–1980s. Originally made to hold a generous 16 oz of something delicious, its soft white ground is scattered with a spirited garden of yellow, purple, green and blue flowers, all picked out in fine botanical-style outlines.
Pair of Vintage Blue and White Flower Vases
We love these serene vases with their pretty soft blue pattern. Perfect for a pop of colour and creating almost pompon flower arangements. Delicious!
Ornate, Eagle Claw Tongs, Imperfect
We fell in love with these tongs, even though they aren’t perfect - one of the toes didn’t come out perfectly in the casting. They were hidden in the bottom of a draw in a market. In our heads we thought how wonderful would they be for a christening present with the note - ‘Life may not turn out perfect but it will always be beautiful, like these tongs’.
Souvenir Plate of New York, Staffordshire
New York! New York! What a place, what a plate. Perfect for cufflinks, rings and earpods. Great as a gift for someone who has a connection to this city and actually looks rather lovely on a wall.
A Burleigh Ware Willow Gravy boat
A gravy boat and saucer, both in pristine condition. Interestingly whilst we were playing with this, we decided it was rather fetching with flowers inside - why tuck it in a cupboard until your Sunday roast, keep it out and enjoy it with some flowers!
Champagne Coupes, Bamboo Pattern
We are always looking for these as they are wonderful birthday presents, engagement presents, housewarming and even 21st birthdays! The pattern is bamboo and all are in good condition which is rare.
A Ship’s Cut Glass Decanter, with stopper
This decanter has a shape which deserves not to be tucked away when not in use. Especially as these are too often used in the evening and it is in the sunlight that they turn into glorious objects in your home.
Loving Cup, Lions and Flowers
We noticed the beautiful flowers on this Loving Cup first, but then we saw the handles.. Lions. Flowers and Lions, what a combination. We would suggest you can drink from this cup or use it to store things, like pens or put flowers in it as we have.
Royal Brierley Crystal Candlesticks
These are just so sparkly. They are small which is often hard to find so work perfectly for an intimate dinner without overpowering your guests or on a mantlepiece with a pop of candle colour. They are lovely this time of year with their snowdrop motif.
Vintage Camel, Ceramic Planter and pot
We are in love and almost didn’t put it on the website. It’s a camel which can be used for flowers, your bits and bobs and at a push even your pens.
Vintage Dish, Ridgway Windsor
A wonderfully sized small bowl for having by the sink for your rings, or by your bed for your earrings in the evening. We have even used it for mini easter eggs!
Cut Glass Dessert Bowls, set of 4
These gleaming glass bowls can be bought separately or as a group of four. We have used them for fruit, sweets and to hold flowers.
Beswick Ware Celery Boat, Dish
We love this dish which can be used for celery of course but is also a delightful pop of colour on a dressing table for keeping your watch and jewellery at the end of the day. It also works surprisingly well as somewhere to place flowers as an alternative to a vase.
