Circa 1900 Edwardian Sheraton revival mahogany drinks cabinet, a wonderfully clever piece of period engineering. Raised on slender tapering legs with gently swept feet, it is finely lined with satinwood and boxwood stringing, and the split top is crossbanded in satinwood.
Made as a combination drinks and smoker’s cabinet, it opens to reveal a fitted, lined interior beneath the locking top flaps. A concealed button then releases the front, and an offset panel swivels to present a mirrored back carrying a fitted decanter and glass stand. A pull-out section section on the top opens to reveal a further hidden storage well.
The mahogany has lovely colour and is in excellent condition, and the cabinet comes with its original key and apparently original glassware. A charming and unusual piece, equally at home as a compact home bar, a drinks cabinet or a side table.

A charming joined oak coffer, Circa 1680-1720, most likely made in Northern England. The front is carved with a lively frieze of lozenges and flower-head roundels set against a lattice ground, above three panels each centred on a carved lozenge enclosing a rosette. A band of carved lunettes runs along the lower rail, completing a well-balanced and generously decorated front.
The coffer is peg-jointed throughout, with plain panelled ends and back, and stands on stile feet formed from the extended uprights. The two-plank oak top overhangs and turns on wooden pivot hinges rather than metal ones, a traditional and characterful detail of early provincial joinery.
The colour and patina are wonderful: a deep, warm, glowing brown with a soft sheen built up over three centuries of use and waxing, and the top shows lovely variation in tone and figure. In good period condition, with a couple of sound old repairs that are in keeping with its age and age-related wear and natural marks to the top. A versatile antique oak chest, equally suited to storing linen or blankets at the foot of a bed, in a hallway or as a useful seat.

The elm seat has developed a rich, deep patina with attractive figuring to the grain, and the chair overall shows honest wear consistent with genuine age and generations of use. A sturdy, comfortable and very usable example of the traditional English Windsor armchair.

Turned finials crown the corner posts, and the turned feet sit on their original porcelain castors, which roll freely.
Dumb waiters like this were the Victorian answer to the serving buffet, standing beside the dining table to hold plates, dishes and decanters within easy reach.

The cedar has a warm, glowing colour and nice grain, with a good mellow patina. It is in lovely original condition, with a sound, solid frame.
