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 very charming little Georgian padfoot 'Lowboy'.
It dates to the middle of the 18th Century, and is made of English straight grain oak.
The top has an incised edge moulding to the front and sides, and deep 'dimpled' corners, all very well crafted and typical of the first half of the 18th Century.
The apron to the front is nicely designed with a fretwork scrolled lower edge. The drawers are cock beaded and are of hand cut dovetailed construction, and all retain their original oak linings. The handles are fine quality old brass swan neck replacements. They are correct and contemporary to the period and style of the table - about 1760.
Well turned and tapered straight legs, terminating in small slipper pad feet. These all remain in very good condition without excessive wear or damage.
Note:- The feet are all slightly turned out. This offers balance, presence and stature to the design of the lowboy - a good Georgian feature.
