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. If any item is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact me. Still able to deliver to most areas, so if I can be of any help please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Exceptional quality and highly attractive, walnut Victorian period music canterbury. The front and domed top are veneered in figured walnut. It stands on turned legs with their original castors which are continuations of the columns which sit proud of each corner. The top, which has a working key, opens to reveal the original interior with three generous sections for storage of magazines and papers. This canterbury has all its lovely original colour and polished surface and is in excellent strong original condition throughout.
