French Terrazzo-Topped Garden Dining Set for Four, Signed "Godin"

French Terrazzo-Topped Garden Dining Set for Four, Signed "Godin"

This is the smaller of the two identical French cast iron terrazzo-topped tables (signed Godin) that we have and is being sold with four French wrought iron chairs. The pale blue paint is all in very good condition, with normal weathering and fading to the base and a few spots of rust on the chairs, but can be sandblasted and repainted according to your custom specifications. The chairs date to the 1950s, the table base is CA 1910 and terrazzo top is only about 10 years old. This set can be combined with our larger set for 8 to make a stunning garden dining suite for 12 (see last photo).

Magnificent French Beaux Arts Sporting Plaque with Heron and Horn

Magnificent French Beaux Arts Sporting Plaque with Heron and Horn

A sensational example of Beaux Arts Sporting Art, this large French plaster plaque is adorned with a spread-winged crane, leather belt with buckle, horn, leaves and mushrooms. It has an old repair to the right side that is nearly invisible and is missing a small chunk at the upper right-hand corner which could be overpainted quite easily. If you are not keen on the brown and green paint, we can repaint it for you to your specifications and think it would be most stunning in a pale grey or white.. Please note that this piece needs to stay indoors or under a covered porch, as plaster "melts" over time when exposed to rain.

English Hexagonal Brass Hallway Lantern

English Hexagonal Brass Hallway Lantern

This elegant hexagonal brass lantern is embossed throughout and features wonderful detailing. The round handblown bottom glass is rimmed in brass and opens downwards for easy access. Delicate in scale, this lovely lantern would be charming in a small hallway, powder room or in a diminutive library. Perfect with a fat candle, it can also be electrified and fitted with an "antiqued" trifid cluster for a modest up-charge. Existing pebble glass has some age, but is likely not original. Warm, lightly worn, patina on brass. Beautiful antique condition, no breaks, repairs or missing parts.

Pair of English Weighted Scottie Bookends

Pair of English Weighted Scottie Bookends

These caught our eye right away, as we have a soft spot in our hearts for Scotties, and we love animal bookends of all sorts. Being made of cast aluminum, however, they wouldn't hold up to our heavy garden books until we had them filled with lead. Now they're perfect and would make a wonderful stocking stuffer for your favorite Scottie owner.

While it doesn't have a lot of age, it is charming, very well done, and in lovely condition. Comprising 8 individual painted letter tiles + 2 finishing corner tiles, the tiles could be embedded in a backsplash or mounted on a plaque for a whimsical wall hanging.

Set of Four Large Painted Holiday/Winter Village Scene Figures

Set of Four Large Painted Holiday/Winter Village Scene Figures

This collection of 4 hand-painted, large Holiday figures on plywood depicting a group of villagers preparing for Christmas is rare and choice. The painting is extremely skilled, very colorful, and the style of the figures is turn-of-the-century (19th to 20th). At present, each of the figures needs to lean up against something, but you can easily adapt them to stand alone. The painting and figures themselves are in excellent condition, but they each have a few screw holes. A wonderful tableau for your Holiday display. 

United States, CA 1950s, possibly earlier.

Pair of English 19th Century Fireclay Lion Roundels/Fountain Masks

Pair of English 19th Century Fireclay Lion Roundels/Fountain Masks

This unusual pair of large fireclay buff-colored lion roundels were originally embedded in a stone wall that flanked a grand staircase. The staircase led from the gardens to an impressive 18th C Georgian manor house in the north of England. Although the roundels are purely decorative, it would be quite easy to convert them into fountain masks and enjoy them spouting water into your swimming pool, spa or jacuzzi. Beautiful condition on the face side of the roundels; minor losses to the sides that were mortared into the wall. PLEASE NOTE that these are priced and sold individually.

Two Long English Mahogany Lab Table Consoles

Two Long English Mahogany Lab Table Consoles

We love these college laboratory work table, particularly since they are made of durable mahogany and we have changed it up by adding a center panel of clear glass for a different look. Great as dual service pieces...use them as a console/dining counter dividing the living and kitchen area in your apartment, as a sofa table or as a serving table. So versatile! There are some initials carved in the sides by students long ago, but nothing objectionable or anything that detracts from the overall look. Please note we have two available but we are selling them separately.

Napoleon III Ebonized Bamboo Mirror with Tree of Life Silvered Glass

Napoleon III Ebonized Bamboo Mirror with Tree of Life Silvered Glass

This sensational Napoleon III mirror is unlike any we've ever seen. Over 7' tall, and with its original silvered and etched eglomise mirror, it features a central serpent-entwined palm tree that represents the Tree of Life, sprouting from a stylized urn and surrounded with a border of ivy leaves. Its "chinoiserie" ebonized bamboo frame reflects the French fascination with all things Eastern and represent the highest style of the period. An intensely beautiful and unique focal point. In very good condition overall. Minor warping to and separation of inner trim piece between mirror and frame has been secured; very small repair to middle left inner trim piece where it had broken. Repair is nearly undetectable. Very minor and tiny age spots to mirrored glass commensurate with age.

German Glass and Chrome Floor Lamp by Besigheimer

German Glass and Chrome Floor Lamp by Besigheimer

This floor lamp is a departure for us, but we just couldn't resist its exceptional design and presentation. The lamp has a chrome base and stem with three separately-lit vertical bubble glass sections that can be lit alone, in tandem with, or without the lights at the top. Made by the German company Besigheimer, the design is classic 1970s and would be perfect adorning a contemporary library or in the corner of a reading nook. Rewired for the US, this lamp is sold without a shade but would look stunning with a black linen cylinder. Overall condition is excellent with one tiny and barely visible dent to the base.

His and Hers English 19th C Winfield Wrought Iron Rocking Chair Frames

We adore the sculptural form of these wrought iron rocking chairs that date to the mid-19th century, but what makes them even more special is their superb comfort.

Larger one measures 22.5" wide x 51" long x 17.5 seat height. These chairs are in excellent condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. Made by R.W. Winfield of Birmingham, England, this chair was first shown at the Great Exhibition of 1851.
