A stellar collection of desks sets from 1885-1915. Most are made out of brass. One large piece is bronze and a smaller two piece set is probably a metal allow. The bronze set is the only one we have ever had out of that material. (more…)

A wonderful, solid mahogany, architect’s desk or drafting table. This desk would have been used by either. The top lifts up and is adjustable. There is a small strip of wood this “pops” out as the top lifts to give support to paper or a book. The front “drawer” slides out to reveal a writing surface. This surface can lift open or slide back to reveal additional storage. Originally, this piece would have had 2 hidden drawers but the slides and drawers are not present. The slides could be replaced. On the right side of the drawer is a spin out compartment meant to hold ink. Each side of the desk has a concealable candle holder, one is original and one is an accurate copy. Most of the hardware is original with only the bale pull and posts being added around the 1900-1925. It would not have had either originally. It is 35 ¾” wide, 23 ½” deep, and 30 ¾” tall when closed. 

This is an incredibly rare piece. It is only the 2^nd on we have ever owned. Overall, it is in very good condition. The finish is old and has a nice luster to it. There is a bit of marring that is pictured in a closeup photograph. It looks better in person but we wanted to make sure it is clearly seen by picture. English. Circa 1770.

Price: $5,750

“Wow, what a piece…” These may very well be the first thoughts that come to mind when viewing this piece for the first time. First and foremost, this piece is period and it is “right”. (more…)

American Shaving Stand

An outstanding, American shaving stand, or dressing mirror, is made out of mahogany. This is the best shaving stand we have ever owned! Made at the end of the 18^th century, the craftmanship on this piece is something to see. (more…)

“Striking, meticulous, colorful, pristine” are just some of the words that describe this piece. This is one of the finest silk embroidery pieces one may ever see. Even saying this, does not do this piece justice. (more…)

A fine mahogany tall case clock, or more commonly known as a grandfather, clock. Standing only 7 5” tall, this clock isn’t nearly as large as most are. Yet, it still manages to carry itself well. (more…)
