Our collection
A single curtain in the most beautiful quality glazed chintz in a dramatically large-scale print of carnations, probably dating from the 1930s. The fabric is in excellent condition, the cotton lining has some fading. Wide enough to make a pair of curtains for a cottage window
133 long with a generous double hem of 10cm x 241cm wide
A very beautiful antique shell-encrusted box, probably Regency. It has a beautifully turned boxwood key hole (no key) turned wooden feet, and a mirror framed with braid in the lid. In very good condition considering its age with just a few damaged shells at the edges, as shown.
10.5cm x 15.5cm x 16cm high to the top of the biggest shell on the lid
An antique collection of 16 beautiful shells, a few with small chips, as shown, the largest 20cm long

A wonderful and unusual fabric-covered frame in 18th century style - very Marie-Antoinette - embellished with ribbon embroidery flowers, silver lace and tarnished gold and silver braid, with a backing of apricot pink silk damask. There is damage to the back of the tapes for hanging it but it is quite robust thanks to the strength of the braid. There is a stiffened braid bow at the top and a silver metal thread tassel.
68cm top to bottom, the oval frame 36cm x 30cm with an aperture of 21cm x 15cm
