Antiques That Caught My Eye

Here we have another round of excellent pieces — big, small, and everything that might be squeezed in between. I was particularly taken with the works on Marc Kitchen Smith’s website; one or two struck me as especially good. I was equally pleased to come across Wharton Antiques, who deal in an absolutely splendid line of antique fireplaces — a source well worth knowing. You can’t go wrong with Will Green’s site either; it remains a reliable hub of beauty.


Claire Langley, Kontrast and Desired Effect all offer a strong line in seating. Not always the cheapest, but rarely unreasonable either. I’ve long harboured a desire for a Howard & Sons armchair, and I suspect one day I’ll end up buying one from one of these fine dealers.


I will admit I slipped a Tat sculpture into the mix — the torso. It really is quite marvellous, though I’m biased for two reasons: I adore small sculpture, and I find this form so strong and muscular, powerful in its contortion. Which does rather beg the question: why on earth would I part with it? But alas, we all have to earn a crust.


Finally, Albion Nord. Best known for their design work, but their antiques offering is not to be overlooked — always a pleasure to peruse.
