Sometimes a very special piece comes along, and this is such a piece.
This exceptional, fascinating figural bronze sculpture depicts a kneeling gentleman in the blackamoor style.
A work of true beauty, so wonderfully cast (using the ‘lost wax’ technique). The detailing is excellent from the curls of the hair, folds of the cloth to the rear foot that protrudes behind the gentleman (it would have been very easy to leave this detail out but it’s testament to the quality of the piece).
We had this piece back in 2016 and have now been lucky enough to purchase it again. We were told on our first purchase that this bronze once filled a Harrods’ window display back in the early 1980s.
A striking size at 95cm x 75cm, this life sized piece will be the focus in any room.
We are so glad to have this gentleman back to stay. At least for a while...

A superb old fairground panel ‘Fast As U Like’. All hand painted on wood and a good, large size at 148cm in length.
The shape of this piece is ace, and it may be Charles Duffield of Colchester, but if not it is certainly inspired by his style.
We think this would make a superb decorative piece, and wherever you put it, it will be the star attraction. Added sass guaranteed if hung over the bed!
This is an original old salvaged piece not a reproduction.

A gorgeous Victorian mahogany pedestal desk. The proportions are great on this example: it is a very useable, neat size at 120cm x 60cm.
For us, this piece has the perfect patina with the right amount of age related wear. It’s in good overall condition. The back is also in good order and finished well so it can stand freely in the middle of a room rather than having to go against a wall.
The curved lines of this desk are a wonderful addition.
The two pedestals are raised on their original brass castors.
Black faux leather pad (a newer addition so with lots of life).
A very useable, stylish piece.
PLEASE NOTE: This desk separates into three pieces- so it is easy to transport and manoeuvre into place in any spot.

Gent seen is 6ft for scale
Condition: Where there are specific points to note we will detail these as far as possible but please be aware that all our items have wear commensurate with age and are as seen in the photographs. If you require any specific information please do not hesitate to get in contact. As seen in the images, but not limited to: plenty of wear throughout. There are knocks to the wood and a couple of very minor losses. Missing one lock mechanism to one drawer (only visible internally). No keys. Some drawers slide too far back into the pedestal- top tip: this is easily remedied by sticking a lollipop stick or coffee stirrer to the inner lip of the drawer frame! Some repaired handles. Displays well. Structurally sound. Priced to reflect these quirks!

£695.00
An exceptional, very large cast stone buddha statue standing an impressive 4ft 10 tall.
The detailing, expression, pose and patina are amazing on this piece, and it looks to have good age to it.
This show-stopping statue is made of a pumice-like stone, not concrete. It’s a very heavy, solid thing so will require at least two very strong people to lift. It will stand firmly in place wherever it’s put.
We cannot find another, so a rare piece.
A beautiful addition indoors for the bold, or outside of course. Ready to grace any space.
Dimensions:
All approximate
Height 4ft 10” or 146cm

Please note this piece is very heavy and will need two strong people to move.
Condition: Where there are specific points to note we will detail these as far as possible but please be aware that all our items have wear commensurate with age and are as seen in the photographs. If you require any specific information please do not hesitate to get in contact. As seen in the images, but not limited to: wear commensurate with age and outside use. There may be losses etc (eg. the tip of one finger) but nothing that effects its use or structural stability. Solid and stable. This piece is stored outside and so will continue to weather from the pictures seen. If you would like an update please just message.
