                    Fine 17th, 18th, and 19th Century Antiques                                

 


Greetings,
      This week we found a great variety of interesting objects to offer you a lovely range of choices of fine quality. New discoveries included are a walnut French Directoire recamier, Mauchline ware, tartan ware, Imari, Coepland china, and a mahogany Georgian table desk.  More rarities that you'll love arrive each week, watch for upcoming additions.
 Above a walnut French daybed from the early 1800's in the Empire style covered in a fine embroidered silk with a down cushion and bolsters. Please note ormolu rosettes on the scrolled arms, an ormolu cartouche at the center of the apron, and saber legs. A fine example in good order and priced for a quick response from my ever alert clients. Better images are available on request.  L. 58", h. 29 1/2', d. 19'. $2200.

  

   Above, our Georgian Hepplewhite table desk in polished old finish with a gilt embossed later leather writing surface. Note brass cups and inkwell drawer. W. 33', d. 24', h. 30 1/2". $675.
   Further, as much Imari as we could squeeze on the desk is shown here,. Much more available to choose, if you like. Almost all of this is without flaws or repair. Please inquire on prices. 

  Above is a group of nine (9) pieces of Mauchline ware produced in Britain throughout the 19th century and earl 20th centuries. Included are transfer images, tartan designs, a whistle(!), a bookmark, a page turner, a bank, a napkin ring, and on. Enjoy your playtime for a modest $195 for all nine, but act quickly to ovoid disappointment.



 The elegant French lamp in the Directoire style is an old copy, early 20th century with a tole shade and rewired and ready to add elegance to your fabulous rooms. H. 27". $575.
 Also, a heavily inlaid Northern Italian games table, late 18th century. inquire.

 This appears to be
an early 19th century Copeland, or that type, wine cooler with wonderful painted decoration as you would see it on their famous and delightful platters. Minor repair. A joy to own, but better with ice and a good champagne. Call or email but don't wait to get started.  H. 8'. $325.
