Antique Dining Table

Antique dining table standing on three pedestals each with four splay base. This sort of base is very sought after, the shape is a Gillow design with the early high knee placement and very vertical waterfall shape to the legs. The close reeding on the top of the legs is typically elegant for the pre-Regency period.
The timber of this table is very nicely figured dense grained mahogany, this is one of the finest cuts of mahogany that we see and it will look wonderful when we have repolished it. The polishing is included in the price and colour matching is part of the restoration process so the top will be an even colour and it is possible to specify a dark, medium or light colour. The table can be made smaller by taking out the removable leaves and can be made longer by the addition of two more leaves made using matching antique timber. Please ask for an estimate to make it longer.

Set of Gillows Dining Chairs

Simply wonderful set of six antique dining chairs. These chairs are the classic "Kennedy's pattern" Gillows design with reeded leg, the waving frond carving and the combination of caned seat with squab which are all typical of Gillows designs of the period. They are simulated rosewood, which is beach painted to look like rosewood. These chairs have worn and faded to a desirable level of patination, they can be waxed with beeswax to bring back the shine and preserve the look. Alternatively the simulated rosewood can be restored to make them look like the manufacturer intended. They should have a seat squab, so do let us know if you want a quote for the upholstery.

Pair of Antique Card Tables

This is one of the finest pairs of card tables that we have seen. They were found in wonderfully original condition with no polish left but more importantly with no previous repairs. These antique card tables are very well drawn with absolutely perfect proportions. The timber is a very good colour, a golden brown with no red in it and there is gadrooning in all the right places. The contra foliate scroll brass work is very precisely done, not only on the top it is on the column and is even on the lower frieze which runs around the base. The brass stringing around the edge is a very fine feature which looks good whether the tops are open or closed.
The tops rotate around ninety degrees to reveal a mahogany lined storage space on their way to converting from side table to card table. In fact all the visible wood underneath is mahogany. These really are the nicest pair of card tables that we have seen for a very long time, if ever.

Antique Centre Table

18th century George III period breakfast table or centre table standing on four splay pedestal base. This table is unusual as it is made of satinwood which is an extremely rare and very beautiful timber with a three dimensional quality when viewed first hand. This table has several other desirable aspects to the design, the four splay leg arrangement is the most elegant design, the lack of frieze means maximum leg room for guests and the cross banding detail is a very nice to have.
All in all a very fine table indeed it does not get better that this.

Large Aubosson Flat Weave / Tapastery Rug

Large scale wool Aubusson rug with carbouchons, flowers and shell motifs on oyster ground. The rug has faded about the perfect amount without losing all of the colours. This level of wear is desirable because it means that the rug can fit into an existing country house setting, whereas a brand new one could be too bright for its surroundings.

Aubusson is well known for its tapestry and carpets, which have been famous throughout the world since the 14th century. Its origins were born with the arrival of weavers from Flanders, who took refuge in Aubusson around 1580. There is a famous collection of Aubusson tapestries at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. The style of the tapestries produced has changed through the centuries, from scenes of green landscapes through to hunting scenes. In the 17th Century, the Aubusson and Felletin workshops were given "Royal Appointment" status. A downturn in fortunes came after the French revolution and the arrival of wallpaper. However, tapestry made something of a comeback during the 1930s, with artists such as Cocteau, Dufy, Dali, Braque, Calder and Picasso being invited to Aubusson to express themselves through the medium of wool. Aubusson tapestry still thrives today, preserving a range of traditional skills.

Antique Twin Pedestal Dining Table

Early 19th century twin pedestal antique dining table. This table is a great scale with a generous shape to the base. The columns are crisply turned and the legs are a wonderful shape. It is interesting to try to imagine how many cubic inches of the best mahogany available was wasted to create that leg shape.
There are two removable leaves supported by bearers, so either, neither, or both of the leaves can be used.
