Large soup or vegetable tureen, Willow pattern, dating early 1800s. Early Staffordshire, it has some faults - as to be expected for the age - a little crazing inside the bottom, a chip and small hairline crack on the rim, firing crack to one handle join (in the manufacture) and a chip off the lion finial to the lid. No maker's marks. Measurements: approx. 25.5 cm high, 30 cm wide and 20 cm deep. A great display item for a dresser - and could still be used if treated with respect.   « Less

Early Derby Porcelain tea set, bearing the red Derby mark for the period circa 1800 to 1825. The coffee cans are earlier, dating from the period 1770-1782. There are 26 pieces, being eight deeply dished saucers, eight tea cups and four coffee cans, slop bowl, dished plate (for serving cake or whatever?), teapot and stand saucer, creamer jug and lidded sugar bowl. The pattern is a beautiful mix of Imari colours, showing strong Oriental influence. Lots of gilded highlights, cobalt blue and iron red. The saucers - which could be used for shallow dessert bowls also - measure 14 cm diameter and 3 cm high. The teacups are 8.5 cm diameter at the top rim, and the straight-sided coffee cans are 6.2 cm high and 6.6 cm diameter at the top rim. It was the normal practice to use the same saucers for both tea and coffee cups. The creamer has a lovely high handle, and a gold pattern painted inside the lip. Lidded sugar measures about 14 cm high, 17 cm wide and 10.5 cm deep. Teapot is 14 cm high and 30.5 cm wide handle to spout. It has an oval stand plate19 cm wide. 1 saucer has a small shallow rim chip, and one cup has a short crack and an attempt at restoration. The creamer has age staining to the handle, especially the top. The teapot has a very old restoration on the spout, a restoration (old, with internal staples) to the lid and internal crazing caused by usage - all could be tidied up by modern methods of restoration. The plate has a discoloured restoration across it. This is a beautiful set, probably more for display than use. There is wonderful gilding work on the handles etc of the teapot. And, although there are some faults, the busy pattern takes the eye away from these. A rare survivor from the late 18th and early 19th century, George III period.   « Less

The finish does have some minor variations, but it also has a nice mellow appearance, and most antiquers would not touch this lovely...aged bronze...finish. It is simply beautiful. The five shades are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, and they all match each other very well. Measurements: * Height: 26" * Diameter: 21" from shade-tip to shade-tip. * Ceiling Canopy: 6" diameter. More chain could be added to extend the overall length.

Art Deco 6 Slip Shade Top-of-the-Line Chandelier This fine light has an original antiqued metal finish in outstanding condition for its age. Yes, the finish does show its age here and there...but for an antique, pretty good. VERY nice are that each reticulated panel between the shades...between each slip shade...has a mica panel behind the reticulations for a very outstanding quality affect. The amber shades are also in pretty good condition. There are patches of minor roughness from being removed and replaced after changing light bulbs. But overall...pretty good. They are all original with those dark purple accents both to the slip shades and the bottom shade, but a little less pronounced on the bottom shade. Measurements: * Height: 27 " * Diameter: ~ 17" Can be lengthened by adding a little extra chain. Please contact us for information & pricing. It was totally re-wired in our UL shop, with new sockets and new lead wire. Each slip shade socket can easily take a 100 watt bulb.
