We would like to wish our families, friends and clients a happy and prosperous 2011.
Throughout the winter months when we have seen some of the coldest temperatures for many years, demand for cast iron stoves, fire surrounds, interiors and dog baskets has increased, and we have been particularly busy meeting client’s requirements for antique fire goods for their homes. There is no doubt about it, you simply cannot beat a real fire on a cold winter’s day.
As we start a New Year we have many plans and commitments over the coming months including exhibitions, fairs and auctions.
Our collection of quality architectural antiques has increased, as we have sourced many more fine and exceptional pieces. Latest additions will shortly be available to view on our website.
We are already preparing for the spring months when we see an increase in demand for architectural garden items. Our spring collection will include benches and seats, statuary, troughs and planters and water features to name but a few.
Of course those who subscribe to our Newsletter will, as always, receive a preview of new pieces before they are available through our website.
If you would like to be able to preview new pieces as they arrive at our premises, please subscribe to our Newsletter which is sent out every other month. Simply visit our website, go to ‘contact us’ and email your details.
During the Christmas period when we were enveloped in a blanket of snow, our home and business looked extraordinarily beautiful. Below are a few pictures to remind you of those cold, snowy, christmas days!
Our home and business looking beautiful in the snow. The property is a 17th century grade two listed building which we have painstakingly restored over a period of five years, using our knowledge of architectural and industrial antiques and renovation of listed buildings, to give the property back its architectural heritage.
This 18th century cider press with crushing stone eventually became buried in snow drifts!
The Victorian Tree Stump fountain that is part of our collection became an ice sculpture long before the snow arrived!
And as the snow started to fall, much of our collection became enveloped in a white coat that grew steadily larger over a period of three days until the pieces were practically unrecognisable!

We source and supply many original antiques for gardens. From Coalbrookdale seats and benches, to tree stump ware, from cast iron urns to lamp posts, troughs and planters, our collection is extensive with pieces to suit every home and budget.
One of our latest acquisitions is this beautiful cast iron basket urn. The body is pierced with roundels beneath a scrolling foliate frieze on a circular base.

It measures 47 inches in height. Please feel free to contact us if you would like further information about this exceptional piece.

It’s the time of year when we turn our attention to finding a special gift for the loved ones in our lives.
Antiques make great Christmas presents, and for a number of reasons.
Firstly you are making your contribution towards avoiding climate change through purchasing a ‘green’ present. One that is recycled and without significant air miles attached to it. You are also assured in your purchase that no poorly paid child or adult in a third world country has been involved in the making of the antique you buy.
Secondly, when you purchase an antique you are buying an asset. Not an ‘off the shelf’ item that loses value as soon as you leave the shop. Antiques are investments. They are timeless pieces that can be kept and passed from generation to generation, or enjoyed for many years before returning them to the marketplace to at least recover your initial investment, or, as is more often the case, make a profit on it.
Last, but by no means least, antiques are beautiful. They have personalities all of their own. They can be cherished and enjoyed, whilst bringing atmosphere, feeling and character to both the exterior and interior of any home. They sit quite happily amongst modern-day items, but are still be able to stand out on their own.
Antiques are the perfect gift and investment for those special people in your life. We hold in stock a variety of lovely pieces that can provide you with that quirky, special or rare present for someone you know this Christmas.
Visit our website through the link at the top of this page to see the range of stock we carry, and please feel free to contact us if you are looking to find the perfect antique gift this season.
Happy Christmas Shopping!
A gentleman’s travelling case by John Pound & Co, circa 1920. This leather case has a great patina. There are ebony and glass and silver accessories, which are hallmarked for John Pound, London, and the maker’s initials appear on the front locks. John Pound & Co were quality London luggage makers in the early part of the twentieth century, and John Pound eventually became Lord Mayor of London. The accessories in the case are held in a lift-out leather holder, which can be removed and displayed separately to the case. Further images are available through our website.
A great ‘boys toy’ for the man in your life. This pair of German Rchtungseiser-Doppelfemrohr RWDF 10 x 50 (sats) field periscope binoculars by Carl Zeiss, circa 1962 look fantastic in any home. They sit on a stained pine tripod stand and come with the original fitted box. More detailed images are available through our website.
A pair of ornate cast iron ceiling roses with pierced decoration and burnished. Circa 1880. These ceiling roses would provide a ‘wow’ factor in any home. More details available through our website.
We have an extensive collection of antique tiles that include individual 6″ and 8″ tiles, tile sets, and tile panels. Whilst many see the use of tiles only for limited purposes such as splash-backs, floors, and walls, their use is much more varied. Tiles are so ornate and beautiful that they make a great, affordable alternative to art, pictures and paintings. They look fabulous on a bedroom, bathroom or living room wall, and always provide a talking point when guests come to visit. With such a wide range of designs available, tiles can be found to suit and complement any interior decoration. Visit our website to see the full extent of our tile collection.
