I think I'd take the plant off it. Very nice find.
Stained or waxed/polished darker, rather than painted. Some were ebonised, I don't think yours was. It probably had quite a nice patina and it...
Georgian - early 19th C. Some fool dipped it at some point, handles are replacements. It still looks nice though.
It's fine. I own its twin. 1860s or a bit later, and the top may well be original. Not hugely valuable these days, but useful.
The base is right, Fenton, it's just upside down and goes under the bowl! You're very welcome, Melanie.
Most welcome!
Looks English to me, those doors are fairly common here.
I've seen English pots in this pattern, too. My first thought was early 19th.
I've seen very similar with made in India labels. Coaster.
Indeed. I've seen sofas like your example, and I like them. This one is a puzzle though.
Thank you. ;) I rather like North Eastern English glass. This is a nice set.
Hm. Those crinoline ladies were hot in the 30s and then again in the 50s. Ah, got it. Jobling, pattern 2596/7 . Here you go:...
Hors d'oeuvre dish here. Think nuts, crisps and nibbles. Nice quality, probably between the wars British, but don't ask me who made it.
Those are new and not of irish origin though. Have a look at older ones.
I'd love to know why they think it's English, I've not seen anything like here.
If I were keeping it, I'd see what's under that velvet. If it's leather, ditch the damn fabric, then get some proper old copperor brass furniture...
Ah, I'd read it as 18 the pair. Yeah, I'd pass.
I think the fringing and velvet are all wrong for a hall chair, which is what this is. Have a google on Victorian Gillows hall chair - you'll see...
Another quick look. Not a rattan seat, you've original webbing. Probably leather. I'g pull a corner of that velvet back, see what you have underneath.
Oh, they're worth £18, but hard to shift, I'd say. Unlike your Gillow. ;)
