Antique Leather Deep Buttoned Stool / Coffee Table

£1,850.00 + VAT

This is one of our large antique Victorian style deep buttoned leather stools or coffee tables with a mahogany edge & sitting on well turned mahogany legs with brass cup casters, which have been antiqued. It has been beautifully re-upholstered, then the leather hand coloured & antiqued by our top leather specialist. There are two rows of hand tacking around the edge. This is a hand made top quality item & no expense has been spared in making this stool. These stools can individually be made to order in any size or colour. They take about 4 – 6 weeks to produce. This is the last one we have in stock right now. We are working on two more of the same size at the moment, because the others have sold fast. They will be the same size, but the final colour can still be changed to order.

Antique Victorian Rustic Oak Bench

£595.00 + VAT

Very long antique Victorian solid oak bench in lovely original condition. There are various marks, knocks, indentations & distressing all over this piece, which only adds to the overall character. It’s structurally sound & is very well made. The legs are nicely turned too. It’s quite rare to find this type of bench that’s original & not made up. I would date it to around the 1850-60’s period.

Pair of Antique Rosewood Upholstered Armchairs

£2,250.00 + VAT

Fabulous pair of antique fully upholstered armchairs with rosewood legs that have applied gilt bronze mounts. They are wonderful quality & still have the original crisp horse hair beneath the fabric, which must have been redone quite recently judging from the good condition. These are also very comfortable armchairs with generous proportions & a great all round shape. They look to me early Victorian or William IV period & I think they are English or possibly French. Please enlarge all the images. You will notice that there is a bit of ormolu missing in a couple of places on the back legs & there is a very small piece of wood missing on the edge of one of the back legs which is hardly noticeable. These chairs have come straight out of a London residence & we haven't done anything to them, because they are structurally sound. It might be a little bit hard to have the missing ormolu replaced, although anything can be done for a price. Personally, I would leave the back mounts alone. Or, they could just be taken off the back legs, so no-one will be any the wiser. Many chairs like these don't even have mounts on the back legs. I would date them to around the 1830-40's.

Set of 8 Antique Walnut Queen Anne Dining Chairs

£2,750.00 + VAT

Very impressive & extremely high quality set of eight antique walnut dining chairs, dating from around the 1910-20’s period. They are Queen Anne style & have large proportions, with some wonderful features. Please enlarge every image to see all the fine details. These chairs are solid walnut, with burr walnut centre splats & figure walnut around the seats. They are exquisitely hand carved on the tops & on the legs, with well defined claw & ball feet. I particularly like the carved side pieces towards the base of the shaped centre splats. The two carver chairs have shepherds crook shaped open arms & drop in seats that have just been re-upholstered. The advantage of these drop in seats is that they don’t cost much to recover. The carvers are larger in proportion the the other six chairs, as is often the case. All these chairs are in excellent condition, sturdy & sound. They have just been French polished & the colour of the wood is rich. I think you will be hard pushed to find a nicer original antique set in this style on the market. Please don’t confuse these with the brand new copies being passed of as old on the market.

Antique Deep Buttoned Leather Chesterfield Sofa

£2,250.00 + VAT

Antique deep buttoned leather Chesterfield three seater sofa with a wonderful colour & plenty of character. It's in good original condition & dates from around the 1920's period. The leather is naturally distressed & there are no rips or tears, just natural ageing. This chesterfield is very comfortable & the leather is deep buttoned on the top, inside back & sides, plus on the seat, which is fully sprung. It's hand tacked all over & sits on turned flat bun feet. These old chesterfields with the buttoned seats are becoming very hard to find now, especially with the original leather & such a great colour.

Pair of Antique French Gilt Wood Side Chairs

£475.00 + VAT

This pair of antique French gilt wood side chairs are in great shape, besides the original upholstery. They are part of a whole set being sold on this site, including a sofa & matching pair of salons. There is an image of the complete set below & they are also being shown separately on the site. I would rather sell it all together, but they are also available separately. They are all structurally sound & the gilt frames have naturally aged with the red layer underneath showing through. This all give them a great character look. The carving is exquisite too & they sit on fluted legs. I would date them to around the 1850’s period, give or take 25 years.

Antique French Gilt Wood Salon Sofa

£995.00 + VAT

This antique French gilt wood sofa matches the pair of salon armchairs & the pair of side chairs also on this site. The whole set can be seen together in one of the images below. The frame has intricate carving on the back & fluted legs. Like the rest of this suite the gilded frame is in original condition with the red showing through beneath the gilt work, which gives it loads of character. I would date this sofa to around the 1850’s period & I believe the fabric could also be original. It obviously needs re-upholstery & we can arrange that for you if you like, or you can buy as is. We would rather sell the whole set together, but they are being offer separately at the moment.

Pair of Antique French Gilt Wood Salon Armchairs

£1,500.00 + VAT

This pair of antique 19th century French gilt wood salon armchairs also have a matching sofa & pair of side chairs. The whole suite is showing in one of the images & you can also go to one of the other sub-categories to see the rest. They are all in the same good original condition & I believe the upholstery is original too. Having said that, it obviously needs to be re-upholstered & we can arrange that or sell as is. The gilding is naturally aged, so you can see a lot of the red undercoat coming through. I think this is a lovely feature & adds a lot to the character. These chairs are excellent quality & structurally sound. We would rather sell the whole set together, but they are priced & available separately. I would date them to around the 1850’s period, give or take 25 years.

Antique Victorian Style Leather Swivel Desk Chair

£375.00 + VAT

Antique Victorian Corner Sofa Chaise Lounge

£950.00 + VAT

Very unusual antique Victorian corner chaise lounge dating to around the 1860-80's period on mahogany turned legs with original brass casters. I've never come across a chaise lounge of this corner design before & I think it's works quite well, plus very practicable. The upholstery was on this piece when we got it & is in fairly good condition with no damage, just a few minor markings that you can see in the images if you enlarge. What's nice, is that it feels like the original horse hair underneath the fabric. It's deep buttoned, well sprung & braided. If you want it re-upholstered, we could arrange that for you. This chaise is a classic Victorian shape. It's like a spoon back chaise lounge with an extra extension on one side. I don't think you will see another chaise of this design.

Pair of Antique Swedish Leather Armchairs

£2,500.00 + VAT

Very stylish pair of antique Swedish leather armchairs in excellent condition & dating from around the 1880-90's period. These armchairs are extremely comfortable, especially with the curved backs. The brown leather is naturally aged, giving them a wonderful & original look. The leather is also in great condition, with no damage, just natural distressing. I love the original applied leather strips that run inside the backs & also the way they are hand tacked. They sit on slightly splayed out feet, which are probably satin birch.

Antique Swedish Leather Chaise Lounge

£2,750.00 + VAT

This antique Swedish leather Chaise Lounge is an extremely stylish & stunning looking piece. The original leather is hand stitched & hand tacked onto the frame. I don't know if you can see the tacks clearly enough, maybe with enlargement, but they are all exquisitely embossed. This Chaise lounge is very much Regency in design & is definitely antique 19th century. It's hard to be accurate with Swedish furniture dates, so it could be from the 1830's or possibly a bit later. Either way the frame is magnificent & solid walnut with reeded edges & fluted legs. There is one small cut out underneath it under the larger end, but this can't be seen unless you turn it over. I love the way the frame curves around on both ends with the two leather bolsters. It's quite long, so please check the measurements.
