Each piece in my collection is chosen for its craftsmanship, authenticity, and quiet sense of history. I specialise in antique silver, maritime objects, property of a gentleman and late 19th century as well as early 20th century designs, curating items that tell the story of refined leisure and skilled workmanship. These are objects made to be used, admired, and handed down—each one a small testament to the artistry and precision of its era.

Description
Exceptional Set of Three Antique Wooden Fishing Reels on Stand – Eton Sun, England (c.1910–1930). A superb and visually striking set of three antique wooden centrepin fishing reels, beautifully presented on a bespoke display stand, and stamped “Eton Sun – Made in England.” This is a rare opportunity to acquire a complete graduated set that perfectly captures the craftsmanship and heritage of early 20th-century British angling. Each reel is individually hand-crafted from richly toned hardwood, likely mahogany or walnut, and fitted with brass star-back plates, central spindles, and ebonised handles. The three reels are arranged in ascending size, creating a wonderfully balanced and sculptural display that elevates the set beyond functional tackle into a true decorative statement piece. The reels retain their original character, with visible grain, honest wear, and a warm patina developed over more than a century. The brass fittings show gentle ageing, complementing the wood beautifully and reinforcing their authenticity. Each reel is Made in England, with one example bearing the Eton Sun stamp, a respected London outfitter known for quality sporting goods in the early 1900s. Mounted on a custom hardwood plinth, the set has been thoughtfully arranged for display, making it ideal for a study, library, country house interior, or angling-themed space.
