Modelled on 18th/19th Century Georgian examples, the handsome design of each features a multi-part timber, masonite and laminate construction bedside table form with applied hardware and decoration.

The hardware consists of long, Georgian-style cast metal handles with applied gilding.
Through use by previous owners, each has taken on a unique patina.
Always nice to have a pair, these would make a great decorative (and useful element) for any home or business. Both could also be further decorated (eg detailing sides, adding legs and/or extra hardware to the sides) to increase value for resale.
In very good overall original condition. There is patination appropriate for these being correct vintage items and not modern reproductions. Please note this includes having some light wear to the paint, occasional loses/wear to the base and one top having some expansion/splitting. The asking price takes all this into account.

Each has its original cloth factory tag and is hand-numbered, ‘63 9/4’ underneath the base – so may be part of a special order or limited production.

Two bold and engaging design pieces for any home or business.
Both in very good overall original condition. There is patination appropriate for these being correct vintage items and not modern reproductions. Please note this includes very occasional light marking to the velvet (which a steam clean will assist further in reducing or removing entirely), one button (not visible from the front) having some losses and the black plastic floor blocks missing. There is also some occasional scratching to the plastic (almost all to the upper rear of each), which due to the nature of their material could potentially be reduced or removed by a professional furniture restorer. The asking price takes all this into account.
Each measures 81cm (h) and seat cushion 45cm (at widest) x 40cm (d) approximately.

carver chair by TH Brown of Adelaide

Established in 1911 and still in business today, T H Brown & Sons is rightly-regarded as one of Australia’s best Modernist furniture producers of the 20th Century. Original pieces are highly sought after and very collectable, often being sold through major auction houses.
Pure Scandi chic and style, the tour-de-force design features an elegant combination of angles, curves and the most incredible attention to detail and craft. The swooping armrests are a particular delight - making this chair one of the most comfortable pieces of art you’ll ever sit in.
In excellent original and unrestored condition. The timber has gently patinated over time, appropriate for this being a correct vintage item and not modern reproduction (it was nourished with a natural beeswax to enhance and protect this unique appearance). There is some patination to the vinyl.

ITEM: FE25031
Vintage 20th Century Chinese Famille Rose
glazed garden seat
$375
Offered for sale is this vintage 20th Century Chinese Famille Rose glazed ceramic garden seat, made post-WW2 and most likely dating from the 1960’s to 1980’s. Despite research the maker is unknown, but would probably be from the Jingdezhen region.
On the form of an antique Chinese drum, the charming hand-decorated (not transfer printed) design features classical Buddhist, Feng Sui and ancient Chinese symbols of good luck, wealth, prosperity, familial bliss and long life. Dual repeating main panels depict a pair of cranes amongst multiple lotus blossom and foliage, set in a watery landscape. Each dividing ‘side’ consists of a repeating pierced gallery and stylised Feng Sui symbols. An upper Ruyi collar leads to the seat, with pierced centre (another Feng Sui element) surrounded by a repeat of the watery landscape found on the main body.
With a great amount of positive Feng Sui, this is a stunning decorators piece that can be enjoyed in an outdoor as well as indoor setting (as pictured, set pieces not included). A previous owner has placed three pieces of protective material on the base to stop any floor scratches.
In excellent original condition, no cracks or losses. Was carefully cleaned before sale, however the dust of ages built up over time in the pierced galleries was left in place out of respect for that patination (as well as confirming its authentic nature as a vintage piece and not modern reproduction).
Measures 46cm (h) x 34cm (diameter, at widest) approximately.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.

portable side table

The hand-carved design features stylised classical Indian foliate patterns; the central boss inset with a floral emblem. Each leg features stamped and hand-worked patterning and is cut in the form of a peacock with its plumes showing.
Often called ‘Indian Rosewood’, apart from its natural deep red colour one of the great qualities of Sheesham wood is its durability by being resistant to termites.
A charming and useful decorative piece for any home or business – very boho chic.
Over the years the timber has developed patination and wear that reflects it being a vintage piece and not modern reproduction.
Measures 37cm x 37cm (square) x 38cm (high, with base fitted) approximately.

ITEM: MR22022
STUNNING Antique 19th Century carved walnut chair
shabby chic
$395
Offered for sale is this stunning antique Victorian 19th Century carved walnut high-back lounge chair, estimated as dating from the 1860’s to 1880's and a masterpiece of the furniture-maker’s craft. The sort of unique chair you might see on an episode of ‘Salvage Hunters’, a genuine statement piece. One that stylistically finishes a room with ‘wow’ factor and sets the design tone for your home. You’ll not find another like this any time soon.
Would suit your warehouse apartment, shabby chic country residence, hipster bar or next to the castle fireplace.
Delicately carved in French Revival style with scrolling foliate elements but not completely over-the-top or frivolous. This chair reflects an artist’s balance between creativity and restraint (eg undecorated back rail). Sinuous curves flow and delight, there are small quality florishes such as tight scrolling and carved elements where none would be necessary – purely to show skill and design. The quality of the carving reflects a masters hand.
What could be the original upholstery has been left as-is, in all its delicious shabby chic glory. Personally I wouldn’t re-upolster it (however that’s up to the new owner). Castors are original Cope & Collison with porcelain rollers.
The walnut has been carefully nourished with a light application of natural beeswax. A charming sign of how valued this chair was by previous owners is the ancient repair to the back left leg. The chair is still sound and oh-so-comfortable to relax in.
In good overall original condition. There is patination appropriate for this being a correct antique item and not modern reproduction.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.
