I have been in the antiques business since 1962, starting in the family business in Staffordshire.
In the early 1970’s I moved to Hertfordshire where I opened my own business and created a limited company.
Today most of my business is carried out via the internet. Any successful antiques business, and particularly mine, remains a way of life and a hobby, it continues to give me enormous enjoyment and satisfaction.
I hope this is reflected by my commitment to a very high quality of service which I have always given over the years. I prefer to deliver sold items in person where possible to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
I have reluctantly decided that after 60 years spent in this marvellous business it is, figuratively speaking, time to hang up my cheque book. I have therefore made considerable reductions to the prices of my stock. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if any items are of interest. Still able to deliver to most areas, so if I can be of any help please do not hesitate to contact me.
A very pretty unusually small sized, country made, George III period, mahogany bureau. This appears to have been made for a child as the writing height is only 22”(56cms). It stands on its original well shaped bracket feet, with three drawers above. The writing slope, which has a working key, is lowered to reveal a very full and busy interior. This lovely little bureau has its old polished surface showing a few small repairs but is generally is in excellent strong condition. The brass drawer handles and escutcheons are mainly original with a couple of old replacements.
