An absolutely spectacular piece of epic proportions!
We absolutely love this sculpture, made for the English National Opera’s production of ‘Man of La Mancha’ (2019) starring Kelsey Grammer (the second image shows this piece on stage).
A wonderful modernist shape but harking back to earlier prehistoric times, reminiscent of Moore, early Hepworth, maybe a touch of Picasso, and other geniuses! It really is a remarkable piece.
We believe it’s of fibreglass construction and it certainly is a complete one off, hand made and hand painted. It’s weighty but can be carried by one or two people.
We think this would look utterly superb in an interior as the very definition of a ‘statement piece’, or could be sealed to ensure longevity for use outside.
There won’t be another so don’t hesitate! You’ll forever regret it.

A superb pair of original ink drawings, bought at auction and believed to be 19th century.
This rare pair have such a strong look. We absolutely love them! They are very well drawn; stylistically excellent and so modern in their look- it’s amazing to think of their age.
Mounted in hand-detailed matts and then in ebonised and glazed frames.
Just so good!

An absolutely awesome old fairground panel. Hand painted with that gorgeous tiger in the centre, flanked by marbled columns and swirling ribbons.
It’s such a dynamic and vibrant piece, it’s guaranteed to look amazing wherever it’s placed. We think it’d make an outstanding headboard!
This is an original, old salvaged piece not a reproduction. A truly rare thing.

An absolutely huge, showstopper of a mirror! 127cm!
It looks just like an antique carved and gilded wood, but is actually a composite material (perhaps a rigid foam or type of fibreglass/resin). This means it’s very light and so is easy to place.
The mirror plate itself is high quality bevelled glass.
A truly superb and unusual piece. We can’t find another.

A most wonderful and very rare thing. This Qing dynasty piece was originally an opium bed but makes the perfect bench or table.
The rich patina is beautiful and the expertly pierced and carved freeze is so attractive, together with those cabriole legs. Each part of the skirt is assembled in sections, and jointed together not glued. True craftsmanship.
The ‘seat’ is a lacquered woven rattan mat over a sturdy wood base.
Wonderfully worked throughout, and in good, stable order.
Beautiful to look at, and useful too. It does not get better. A piece to treasure.

If you require any specific information please do not hesitate to get in contact. As seen in the images, but not limited to: structurally sound though there are old repairs and losses as expected. The fretwork is delicate in places but is all present. Old woodworm- nothing active but retreated and observed as a precaution. There are marks and catches to the rattan but nothing that detracts. The whole piece would benefit from a clean and polish.
