Examples :
Painting sold to a customer in Germany ..
' I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - the entire process was smooth, surprisingly fast, the painting was just as described (and more impressive in person), packaging was very secure, and Mark was extremely friendly and helpful. All of this makes me very happy to be a customer again in the future.'
Georgian Toilet Mirror. Customer in Australia ..
''Breathtakingly beautiful Mahogany toilet mirror ! Delicately dovetailed drawers are as smooth as silk. The acorn finials are a treat. The mahogany has a marvelous lustre and fine patina consumate with its age.
Beautifully packed with extreme care it arrived in pristine condition. This seller is an absolute joy to work with ! Many thanks.''

Description
This is a fine and very stylish 18th Century Georgian antique oak dresser and rack. It has a bank of 3 deep drawers, elegant turned legs terminating in pad feet, and a tall thoughtfully designed rack offering a beautifully scalloped side profile.
Most definitely, smart and understated 18th century Georgian Town & Country House Furniture. It dates to about 1740.
It is of pegged tenon framed construction. The deeply swept 'shoes' which take the rack are original and constructed as a fixture to the base. The rack has 3 shelves with retaining grooves for plates and a well shaped canopy and cornice, and back boards - all original.
Constructed from straight grain English oak, the dresser has a glorious nut brown colour. The handles are original, swan neck brass bails.
