Greetings,
      A rare early 19th century vide piche, a French Directoire form, with a central open compartment above turned legs on brass castors with a central incurvate shelf. Long use has resulted in careful replacement of the inner copper liner and black veined marble top. With the top on, it can be a side table for serving or you might use it for entertaining with the open compartment packed with ice, holding champagnes or wines. W. 30", d. 17", h. 33'. $1195.
   
   Above, a rare pair of Coalport urn form fruit coolers, 13 inches in height in a marvelous Imari design. These have old restorations and have been used as lamps. These can be quickly returned to lamp use.  Please call or email for full details on these.


 
   We just purchased these on our Buenos Aires buying trip. They are French Directoire, early 19th century, with period seamed construction and correct silver plating on well detailed brass. Height 10". $325 the pair.  
   
   This English William IV teapot is of fine veneers and just been professionally reglued and polished. The stem is octagonal and tapering above an incurvate base with reeded bun feet and castors.The restored interior allows for storage.  H. 30",d. 10 1/2", w. 13". $495.
 

    May I answer further questions ?  Please email or call me for a prompt response. 

 

  

Warm regards,
