Cream Skimmers, 4 Off
Description
Hopefully the offer of the month. These seem to sell for £65 to £85 each as a general rule. Here we are able to offer 4. The one on the left is particularly detailed. The handle has an interesting repair, maybe stood on by a cow and as things were repaired 100 plus years ago not just replaced, it has been repaired. Two others have wooden handles one with signs of some worm but we have sat this in killer so they would be seriously robust if making it through that. The four are £100 the lot. Priced to sell. Largest round is 24cms, tallest is 55cms. Could look good in a restaurant or maybe a dairy selling farm produce, or they could sit in a tea room. Perhaps best of all in your kitchen. Give us a call to discuss. 01565 874075

A Neat French Gilt Mirror
Description
In really quite amazing original condition. This mirror which has been in use in my own home is now available owing to a change around. It has the original glass which does show its age and the frame is displying superb detail which is almost unmarked since when it was made in the 1800s. The gilt finish has only faded a little but is still intact as it should be. We think it would be really difficult to find a better more original and undamaged example for this kind of money elsewhere, if not impossibile. A special item and a neat size, can make a lovely overmantle.

Impressive Spelter Lamp
Description
A rather unusual spelter lamp depicting a steel worker. Its a good impressive size and makes quite a talking piece. The basket on the base lights up and can be on by itself or with the other lights.

Also available if the buyer would like, is a totally non associated shade that fits rather well. Picture shows this in place. Available at a reasonable price we feel for something that in good condition with tidy mouldings and overall condition. Give us a call if you would like to discuss.

Antique Fire Grate, With Cast Fender
Description
This is an impressive ensemble comprising the cast fire back with date of 1679. The word 'pax' can be seen in the casting which we suggest was to show relief that the reign on the monarchy was restored. King Charles ll had returned from France and taken up the throne a little while before. The country was getting back to some normality after the Cromwellian era. The actual basket has been replaced in the past and is not buckled, this sits on a pair of matching cast fire dogs. Also included is a cast fender, which on its own can command a price of around £150 to £200, and some seem to be up to £350. This is in great condition with quite a fine casting. The whole ensemble is offered here for £460, the most competitive package we can see anywhere.

Thames View Interesting Engraving Of 1800s London
Description
The longest engraving we have ever had if memory serves me well. This example of the Thames from the 1800s shows numerous buildings and locations along the river. There are quite a few as its almost 4m long. How good would this look in a restaurant or pub if someone does not snap it up for long wall in an industrial conversion building. Anyone with a London or Thames interest would surely find this facinating. The engraving is clear and most readable, the frame is good and we suggest done in the 1960s maybe. What a great feature for only £150.00. Never to be repeated we think. Give us a call to discuss. 01565 874075

Set Of 8 Cut Glass / Crystal Wine Glasses
Description
A set of 8 cut glass wine glasses which we believe to be Stuart Crystal in the Glengarry design. They are in good condition but a couple of the rims have been refinshed so no chips now. These are or should we say were about £70 each when new but this set of 8 is only £100. Very good value for a quality set. We have also listed a set of 12, quite rare, of similar glasses but the slightly smaller size. A superb Christmas present perhaps and a very keen price.

Attractive Water Colour Early 1900s
Description
A rather pleasing water colour from the early 1900s. It has a mount and is in a good gilt frsme. The colours are good and better than most for its age but there is some foxing. We are led to believe this is somewhere around Marple in Cheshire but are unable to verify. It is a nice size at 50cms across and would fit into many a home well, especially as it is reasonably priced at only £48.
