A vintage mahogany side table of elongated oval shape that I have hand-painted with a floral design of intertwined leaves and tulip flowers with a small scalloped border detail. The table is painted in a pale blue-green colour with the design predominantly in shades of green, white and pale pink.

The chair is completely original and has the most fantastic finish and patina…

An early 18th century oak side table c1700 with beautiful reel turned legs and stretchers with block supports, an unusual central front to back stretcher, and a full width freize drawer.
