'...By virtue of their very survival, antiques are repositories of untold and endlessly intriguing stories ... ..like us, they have survived, bearing the scars of experience; and we cherish them despite their flaws, as we ourselves hope to be cherished ..' (Jane Shilling, Daily Telegraph 5/3/23) Beautifully put, .. we share and wholeheartedly value these sentiments too.

We have had many reviews over the years, and we will happily share these on request. Examples : Painting sold to a customer in Germany .. ' I cannot recommend Mark highly enough - the entire process was smooth, surprisingly fast, the painting was just as described (and more impressive in person), packaging was very secure, and Mark was extremely friendly and helpful. All of this makes me very happy to be a customer again in the future.' Georgian Toilet Mirror. Customer in Australia .. ''Breathtakingly beautiful Mahogany toilet mirror ! Delicately dovetailed drawers are as smooth as silk. The acorn finials are a treat. The mahogany has a marvelous lustre and fine patina consumate with its age. Beautifully packed with extreme care it arrived in pristine condition. This seller is an absolute joy to work with ! Many thanks.'' Document Cabinet. Customer in the UK ''A gorgeous piece of furniture. It was really well packaged for delivery and seller sent some useful notes about the locking mechanism.''
