Stunning pair of antique upholstered chairs with walnut or possibly satinwood carved frames. These chairs date from the William 1V period 1830-40 & the frames still retain their original character. They have just been re-upholstered & the seats have been completely redone inside. The frames are a lovely shape, with some really intricate carving & they are really comfortable too. There are a few tiny bits of mouldings missing in between the top of the legs & the seats, in fact there is still one remaining. It's so small you wouldn't even notice & if I took the last one off, nobody would be any the wiser, but I thought I should just mention it. These chairs are quite a rare model, especially in pairs & I don't anticipate them hanging around for long.

This antique Regency style mahogany bookcase is very impressive & has a lot of style. Take a good look at all of the amazing features & enlarge all of the images to appreciate the quality. The astral glazing on the top doors is very striking. Behind these doors are adjustable shelves. The bottom cupboards have wonderful mouldings & there are two more shelves inside this part. Beneath this there is a shaped base & splayed feet. This very elegant bookcase is in good original condition & has working locks on the doors. There is a small piece of wood missing on the side of one of the feet, but that is hardly noticeable & all part of the character. I would say it dates to around the 1910-30's period, but it is really difficult to date exactly because it's a bit of a one off.

This antique Victorian style brown leather chesterfield sofa is a real character piece & very comfortable too, being of generous proportions. It has a deep buttoned back & arms, with three separate cushions & sits on casters. The leather has a wonderful original colour, with lots of natural distressing & there doesn't seem to be any obvious damage to it. I would say it probably dates to around the 1930-50's period, but it's always hard to tell when the leather is this nicely distressed.
