Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

A Gainsborough armchair is a wide, open-framed seat with padded armrests, originating in the mid-18th century during the Georgian period, typically associated with the Rococo style.

Authentic pieces generally feature dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, joined with traditional mortise and tenon construction, and hand-stitched upholstery webbing.

Authentication relies on examining timber ageing, hand-cut joinery marks, traditional secondary woods, and the absence of modern machine-cut fasteners.

Pair the piece with clean-lined modern furniture to create a striking contrast, or place it within a traditional study to anchor the historical aesthetic.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and fabric fading, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to the wood frame.
