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

The barley twist, or spiral turning, gained immense popularity in English furniture during the mid-17th century, particularly in the Jacobean and Carolean eras, influenced by Portuguese and Indian imports.

Traditional footstools typically feature solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or beech for the turned frame, joined with mortise and tenon techniques, and traditionally stuffed with natural fibres or hair before being upholstered.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-carved irregularities in the twist, traditional joinery methods such as wooden pegs, and signs of age-related patina, wear, and oxidisation on the timber frame.

A classic footstool with turned legs can be paired with modern minimalist seating to add textural contrast, used as a low cocktail table with a tray, or placed at the end of a bed for layered functionality.

Protect wooden components by avoiding direct sunlight and occasionally treating with beeswax, while maintaining fabric upholstery through gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and professional cleaning when necessary.
