You are viewing a wonderful and unique pair of German Dresden porcelain urns with a lovely gold enamel finish and fabulous hand painted classic Roman scenes on the main panel. I hope the photos go some way in conveying the beauty and quality of this pair, they are certainly better in the flesh.
They have a lovely classical shape and would look amazing in the right setting overflowing with foliage, or just on their own. The urns feature a wealth of hand painted and chased designs in white, including the angels, garlands, crowns, reefs, arabesques and other patterns. They are in white with a type of gold etched corner to simply stunning effect. I hope the photos illustrate this, the quality of the crafting is amazing, especially when you consider the amount of time to create.

Mahogany Breakfront Bookcase

Mahogany Breakfront Bookcase

You are viewing a fantastic Sheraton style mahogany breakfront bookcase. The piece comes in two parts, the four door – four drawer base, and the glass fronted top. It\’s the perfect mix of aesthetic beauty and practical usefulness and will add a touch of style and elegance to any interiors scheme.

The piece has the characteristic Sheraton style inlay to the front with the urns and garlands gracing the front of each door. There is also a thin strip bordering the doors, drawers and glass fronted doors. If you imagine how this inlay is created you can see how much skilled craftmanship and man hours goes into the making of this fine piece of furniture. Each piece of marquetry inlay design has to be cut out of the softer fruitwood and then embedded into the harder mahogany of the main structure.

There is a lot of storage space. The doors on the bottom open out to reveal the large inner space. This door is lockable and comes with a key. The drawers at the top open out cleanly. Then of course there is the fantastic glass fronted top half again with keys. When this opens out you can see the shelves are adjustable so you can store various items. Being glass fronted its a great way to showcase your decorative pieces, such as porcelain, bronzes and other collectibles. Of course books also look great in this piece. At the top is the classical pediment.

This fine piece of furniture is a design classic and will last you for generations and hence makes for a great heirloom. This piece is offered in perfect condition and has just come back from the restorers where it had a repolish and hence is ready for home use immediately

Pair Walnut Sheraton Open Bookcases

Pair Walnut Sheraton Open Bookcases

Pair Walnut Sheraton Open Bookcases

You are looking at a pair of English Sheraton style openfront bookcases hand crafted from the finest walnut. This lovely pair are the perfect mix of decorative beauty and practical functionality to make for a vintage design classic. They look great in any room and they are able to store lots of items.

Ostensibly they are bookcases but of course you can use them to hold other items, they look particuarly good with decorative items – statues, vases etc – in them. However, for myself, being the bookish type I have a pair in my home with nothing but lovely, fading works of literature in them.

The shelves are adjustable to suit meaty tomes or smaller paperbacks. The shelves work on a slat system so you can adjust them to whatever height you like for whatever you like, from \’War and Peace\’ to the \’World\’s Smallest Book of Poetry\’ these bookcases are perfect.

The open fronts are Sheraton style, main body is walnut polished to a
high sheen with solid shelves The inlay is made from various fruitwoods – satinwood, rosewood, applewood – to create a beautiful affect. The fruitwoods are softer hence there use as inlay within the harder mahogany. The level of the craftmanship on these is absolutely superb, both strucurally in that they are very solid, and also with the intricacy of the inlay.
