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 fine quality, Regency period, mahogany magazine, or music canterbury. The boat shaped top section is divided into four divisions with a fretted carrying handle, two of these sections can easily be lifted out to accommodate larger magazines or books as required, see picture. There is a single oak lined drawer with its original brass knob, all sitting on four finely turned legs with their original brass cup castors. This canterbury is in excellent, strong, original condition. with all its old polished surface which follows all the way round, making the canterbury centre standing if required.
