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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

French commodes from the 19th century, particularly from the Empire and Restauration eras, typically feature solid architectural silhouettes, warm-toned fruitwoods like cherry, and clean horizontal lines. They frequently incorporate flanking columns, top frieze drawers, and simple turned wooden or brass handles.

Cabinetmakers utilised native fruitwoods such as cherry or walnut, often layering book-matched veneers over pine or oak secondary timber framing. Joinery relied on hand-cut dovetails for drawer boxes and traditional mortise-and-tenon construction for the carcass.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-sawn timber surfaces, slightly irregular hand-cut dovetail joints inside drawers, and original lock mechanisms. The timber naturally displays age-related characteristics, including subtle shrinkage lines and a deep surface patina.

Position the piece as a focal feature in an entryway or bedroom, contrasting its warm wood tone against neutral wall colours or contemporary artwork. Placing minimal ceramic vessels or modern lighting on top creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Position the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or uneven fading. Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a quality natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the protective finish.
