Originally uploaded by canonburyantiques
Charles Sykes Flying Lady bronze – as found on the bonnet (or hood) of Rolls Royce cars. Also referred to as Spirit of Ecstacy. A deco classic..
If you are looking for that cosy, rustic, farmhouse look then here you are – a set of 8 English Mary Tudor oak chairs – we also have matching refectory tables available if you are looking for a set.
Wow – these somehow epitomise the art deco aesthetic for clean and minimal designs – classic 1920s understatement, especially with the tiered shape.
Perfect for contemporary interiors.

Georgeous pair of French bronze torchere lamps by Gregoire – signed on the base. They remind us of the the Statue of LIberty
Back in the 70s, amongst my wares over at Bermondsey Antique Market in London a gentleman picked up a violin and an oil painting depicting a country scene with a hay wagon in the foreground. He asked me for any provenance or information on both articles.
I promptly replied that the violin was by John Constable and the painting was by Stradivarius. He looked puzzled and replied: “Have you not got this information the wrong way round?”
” Certainly Not Sir” I replied.
” How Come? ” He asked.
I said: “It’s simple. Stradivarius was a lousy painter and John Constable was useless at making violins”

Original Boulle Chest
An original Boulle commode…today worth £150,000…..
During 1982 a dealer friend of mine in the Belgium town of Ghent invited me into his mothers flat who had passed away. Amongst other things, I purchased a small chest/commode by Andre Boulle which dated circa.1690. It was a real gem of a piece .
At the time I sold it for £20,000 – today its value would be £150,000. If only it had of been kept as an investment! Alas the business needed to be supported and reap the benefit of the £20,000 back in 1982.
