Dealers Notes

**************************************

Shipping

Other than a few smaller items that can be safely posted, nearly all items are hand delivered (and set up in the case of clocks) by Martin Bros who are one of Britain’s most prestigious carriers of antiques and fine art. I wish us avoid the hassle of cheap men and their vans! The standard (subsidised) delivery price shown is for mainland UK excluding Scotland. Please ask for a Quotation where the standard price is not applicable.

**************************************

Restoration and Presented Condition

I do not subscribe to the shabby chic or make it like new approach using modern materials which can make future restoration extremely difficult and impede long-term investment value.

Any restoration work is done to the highest (museum) standards using traditional materials so as to not compromise the patina of age.

Accordingly, please note some antique items for sale will have wear and marks associated with use over many generations that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece from the collector’s perspective.

**************************************

Fine Art - Condition

All Paintings offered have been chosen for their excellent original condition, with where necessary museum standard cleaning, restoration and revarnishing. Presented in Gallery condition they are ready to hang for many generations, before cleaning / revarnishing may be necessary.

**************************************

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Regency Egyptian Revival furniture emerged in early 19th-century Britain, inspired by archaeological discoveries and Napoleons Egyptian campaigns, characterised by motifs such as pharaoh heads, winged motifs, and architectural columns integrated into classical furniture forms.

Cabinetmakers during the Regency period predominantly utilized dense dark timbers such as mahogany and rosewood, often featuring marble slabs, cast brass wire grilles, silk fabric backings, and chased ormolu or brass mounts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber elements, hand-cut dovetail joinery, original patinated brass hardware, cast brass mounts showing fine chasing, and natural age-related wear or movement in the timber and marble.

Place the cabinet as a focal point against a neutral wall to highlight its gilded accents and rich timber, paired with contemporary monochrome artwork or minimal ceramics on the marble top for contrast.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply beeswax sparingly, while protecting the marble top by cleaning spills immediately using a pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent etching.
