$1,297 USD SaleSALE Large Victorian Hanging Pine Cupboard
Antiques:Furniture
This is a wonderful old English pine hanging cupboard. As you can tell from the pictures, it was painted white at one time. It has been stripped and repainted blue in some parts. It is a large cupboard measuring 60" wide, 62.5" high and 12.5" deep. With the doors open you can see three shelves, but there are supports for three more. For some one needing more cabinet space, as well as display space, this would be a great addition. It has been waxed once, but we will give it another good waxing ...
$3,997 USD SaleSALE Large Louis XV Country French Double Door Armoire
Antiques:Furniture
This is a fabulous Louis XV French double door armoire standing 8'3" tall. It is 59" wide and 21" deep. This beautiful piece with the simple carvings is made of fruitwood. We found it in a small village in Southern France. It was made around 1750. I have tried to show the faults. If you are familiar with French furniture of this period, you know there were worm problems. The two back feet were rebuilt and reinforced making them stronger than the originals. In the upper left corner of the side ...
$1,997 USD SaleSALE Large French Painted and Gild Mirror
Antiques:Mirrors
A wonderful large (65.5"high and 37"wide) French mirror that has cream paint and gilded accents. As expected of a mirror of this age, C1880, it has some repairs in the corners that are shown in photos. The mirror itself is in better than expected condition, with very few spots. I think the photos give an accurate depiction of the mirror. We will be happy to send additional photos or information on request.
$297 USD SaleSALE Large Glass Ink Well with Brass & Wood Stand
Antiques:Accessories
A fabulous ink well stand with wonderful large glass ink well. Not sure what kind of wood, but it adds to the beauty with the contrasting brass and white trim around the brass studs. The base is 8.5" by 11.5" and with the ink well stands about 6" high. The ink well seems to be stuck into the opening of the base, and I didn't want to force it, maybe by design. I have a similar one in the store and the ink well will not come out of it also. Maybe they glued them in to keep them from falling out ...
$1,997 USD SaleSALE Magnificent Rosewood Arm Chair with Needlepoint & Beaded Upholstery
Antiques:Furniture
As you can tell from the pictures, this is a beautiful chair, a true work of art. The needlepoint and beading is of excellent quality. The chair dates form about 1850. It will be difficult to find a nicer example of mid Victorian workmanship on a chair. The pictures speak for themselves, and they don't do it justice. Mr. Kovel noticed it at our stand at Round Top and had his crew film it because it was so beautiful.
$100 USD SaleSALE Old Metal Milners Deed/ Document Box
Antiques:Accessories
A fine old Milners document box that someone has repainted and added a coat of arms decal, which gives it an attractive look. It was made by Milners of Liverpool (stamped on the lock). The box is in fine condition with no holes or rust. The top closes nicely and fits snugly. The lock looks like it is still functional, but we have no key. These are great to keep your bills or other things stored away out of sight. They also look great just sitting on a table. This one measures 14.5" wide not ...
$197 USD SaleSALE Oblong Tortoise Shell Box with Dragon Etching
Antiques:Accessories
Beautifully designed oval shaped tortoise shell box with a dragon etched into the facing. The box itself is roughly 5-inches in length and has a hairline crack as evident in the photos. ~London Market~
$100 USD SaleSALE One Papier/ Paper Mache Hanging Shoe Pocket
Antiques:Accessories
This is ONE of two Papier mache hanging shoe pockets. The other shoe will also be listed separately. This is just so cute, we haven't seen one before. You can see they were constructed to hang but can also sit flat. It is 8" long and 3" wide. The last photo shows damage on the back but it did not penetrate the front.
$347 USD SaleSALE Oblong Barbola Mirror with Fruit and Vegetable Accents.
Antiques:Mirrors
This Barbola mirror is somewhat unique in that it is designed with fruits and vegetation rather than blossoms. In England, many have been known to be repainted and some are even reproductions, so beware. These are all in their original, unrestored condition. This mirror is just over 2-feet tall.
$297 USD SaleSALE Pair of Bookends; Afghan Hounds or Borzoi on Marble Bases.
Antiques:Accessories
This is a charming pair of hound bookends. The dogs are sitting atop marble bases but we are not certain if they are bronze or spelter. Each base is about 6" tall. It is getting so difficult to find good bookends, especially with dogs! A Ruby Lane used identified these as Borzoi.
$297 USD SaleSALE Quality Georgian Oval Silk Work Pheasant
Antiques:By Period, Style
This is a great example of the beautiful detailed silk work that was done in the late 18th and early 19th century England. This was part of the proper education for the young ladies of that time. They worked with silk from about 1780-1820. This one has beautiful muted colors and great detail. The way she did the feathers they look almost real. The thread work is still in excellent condition, but the background silk has some splitting as can be seen in the photos. The frame also has chips, but ...
$3,497 USD SaleSALE Amazing Large English Gilded Mirror (C1830)
Antiques:Mirrors
This is just a fabulous English gilded mirror. If you have a place for it, this will definitely be an attention getter. It stands 77' high and 69.5" wide, so it is quite an imposing piece. For a mirror that is about 180 years old it is in great condition. Very little silver loss is evident, especially in the main oval section. We had a friend stand next to the mirror in one photo to give you an idea of the size. I took a close up of the main silver loss in one of the smaller sections. We have ...
$597 USD SaleSALE Regency Tea Caddy made of Coromandal Wood
Antiques:Accessories
This is a beautiful example of a classic Regency tea caddy which still has its original key. The beautiful coromandal wood and contrasting string inlay in the traditional casket shape, with the ivory key escutcheon and brass handles gives this caddy the look of elegance. It is very good overall condition, especially considering that it is nearly 200 years old. Photos show condition very well.
$2,497 USD SaleSALE 17th Century Oak Bible Box/Desk on Legs
Antiques:Furniture
A wonderful old oak Bible box dating from around 1690. The legs were added later, probably around 1750. Although we do not have the key, the box has its original lock and henge. I'm sorry you can't feel the patina of the 300 plus year oak, it is grand. Just imagine this old piece was around nearly 100 years before we declared our independence. The pictures show the condition, which is very good,for a piece this old. It is 39" high, 31" wide, and 18.5" deep.
$297 USD SaleSALE Beaver Top Hat with Leather Case
Antiques:Accessories
This charming Beaver Top Hat is daring and classic. Complete with leather carrying case this item is truly a great find. The leather cases usually cost this much. The leather case is missing its strap and shows years of wear. This hat and case are probably late Victorian to Edwardian.
$347 USDBeautiful French Beaded Hanging Floral Decoration C1900
Antiques:Accessories
This is a great floral decoration with literally thousands of beads. The French used these instead of sending flowers to funerals. Sounds gruesome, but how long do flowers last. This beautiful work of art can last indefinitely if properly handled. It is 41" high and 22" wide. They look great hanging on wall. Very unusual to find in this great condition.
$997 USD SaleSALE Beautiful Floral Victorian Needlepoint Rosewood Stool
Antiques:Furniture
A beautiful Victorian needlepoint stool made with rosewood. The square top has an elegant floral needlepoint. These are getting so difficult to find with the needlepoint tops and the prices of nice stools are just going out of sight. This is such a quality stool, wish you could see it in person. It is a heavy, well made piece of furniture. The top is 21" square and it stands 17.5" tall. It was made about 1860 if not earlier.

Antiques:Art:Needlework
This finely woven silkwork piece is roughly 19"x25" in size and has a minute tear but is very beautifully done just the same. The silk is so fragile and these are so old, it is difficult to find these at reasonable prices. Please see our other religious works. Thanks for looking. ~London Market~
$497 USD SaleSALE Silkwork; "Jesus and the Lady at the Well". Circa 1810.
Antiques:Art
This is a lovely silkwork of Jesus and the Lady at the well. The piece is vivid and very well done. The piece framed is 18 by 20 inches. The beauty of these delicate works is the hand painted facial, hands , and feet of the subjects as will as the beautiful needle work.
