ebonised - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/ebonised/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

It has plenty of signs of age and wear to it as one might expect from something which has basically been hit repeatedly (!). One section of damage has been repaired to make it safe and structurally sound - please see photos. The xylophone has retained its tuning and although the felt dampers would benefit from renovation, it plays effectively in its current state.

The beaters are provided as an accompaniament - they also show significant signs of age and use, and are a good match for the xylophone. They have rubber ends and although not entirely straight (!) they perform adequately and look the part too.

The xylophone measures 48cm in length, 23cm at its widest, 12cm at its narrowest and is 3.5cm in height. It would easy enough to add hanging furniture to it if preferred.

]]> Antique Ebonised and Gilded Bobbin Legged Octagonal “Gypsy” Table https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/antique-ebonised-gilded-bobbin-legged-octagonal-gypsy-table/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=antique-ebonised-gilded-bobbin-legged-octagonal-gypsy-table Sat, 03 Mar 2018 12:08:59 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1855 As found, this stunning antique octagonal "Gypsy" table - dating from the late 1800s or early 1900s - features ebonised bobbin turned legs with gilded banding, a great shape and loads of character. A piece of furniture which is certainly a conversation piece!

The top, made from three separate pieces of wood, is a little uneven and could do with some attention, but is functional "as is", either with or without a new surface covering.  Due to the age of this item the gilding is worn in some places but the ebonised wood is otherwise in an extremely good state - particularly the central "ball" - with wear and only to the extremities of the legs. We wouldn't want it any other way and we have not attempted anything more than a gentle clean in order to retain the undoubted character of the table.

The top measures 53 cm (21 in)  square and the table height is 58cm (23 in)
