Dealers Notes

I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A satinwood bookstand is an upright piece of occasional furniture designed to keep volumes organised in drawing rooms or studies. Popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these pieces were frequently produced in the Sheraton Revival style and featured polished satinwood veneers accented with polychrome painting.

These pieces were typically constructed using a timber core veneered with satinwood, known for its fine grain and golden luster. Decorative details were rendered in oil paints or lacquers, and structural framing was reinforced with dovetailed joints, fine stringing, and shaped stretchers.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural wood age, fine surface craquelure, and subtle variations in hand-applied brushwork. Unlike modern reproductions with uniform transfers, original 19th-century painted decoration displays distinct artisan detailing and signs of historical wear around handles and legs.

Position the bookstand beside an armchair or within a hallway nook to display select hardcover books or journals. Its compact footprint and elevated legs allow it to serve as a functional accent without overwhelming smaller room layouts.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid liquid polishes, solvents, or water on hand-painted areas, and keep the item away from direct sunlight or strong heat sources to prevent timber movement and veneer lifting.
