The parrots stand and chain are all in bead work. A print of this picture is owned by the British museum and has the following inscription: Inscription type: inscription

FB Antiques, long standing members of LAPADA (London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association), has been established since 1960 in London and had three shops supplying the home and overseas trade. We relocated from London 30 years ago to Rayleigh in Essex, to a 40,000 sqft warehouse from which we shipped approximately 120 containers a year. 5 years ago we downsized to our storage premises in Rettendon Essex, and now operate from our 15,000 sqft showroom and workshops, still supplying home and overseas trade as well as many members of the general public.

We pride ourselves on pricing our furniture at competitive prices. We are only 30 miles from London and are open 7 days a week for viewing. We are always willing to do a deal with the client and will try and assist in any way possible.
