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

A traditional altar or serving table is a long, narrow timber structure designed for ceremonial use in church settings or for holding prepared dishes in dining halls. These pieces typically feature solid hardwood construction with plain aprons and heavy structural end supports.

These long tables are primarily crafted from durable European hardwoods, with oak being the primary timber selected for longevity and grain character. Traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints, wooden pegs, and solid slab legs were utilised to provide structural stability.

Authentic period pieces display evidence of hand-worked timber, such as hand-planed marks, uneven wear along the base legs, and natural wood shrinkage around joints. Genuine aged oak develops a distinct patina and deep colour oxidisation over centuries.

A large oak serving table functions as a grounding focal point when positioned along a hall wall, behind a sofa, or in a wide dining space. Modern interiors balance the heavy architectural timber by pairing the table with simple ceramics, understated lighting, and clean backdrop walls.

Position solid oak furniture away from direct heat sources and severe moisture fluctuations to prevent timber movement or splitting. Dust regularly using a clean, soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain timber hydration.
