Colourful Coffee Bean Spoons in an Art Deco style by Sipelia of Sheffield (set of 6)

Jon Nix — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 21:58:16 +0000

Made by Sipelia of Sheffield these EPNS coffee spoons feature colourful coffee beans on their handles, and date from the 1930s to the 1950s - broadly in an Art Deco style. They remain usable and in excellent condition (cocktail stirrers, anyone!?), making them suitable for your next coffee morning or indeed as part of a vintage decor display... or cocktails. I think we mentioned cocktails already?

Each spoon measures approximately 10cm (4in). We cannot offer the original box for these items, alas, but they will be carefully packaged.

Lucky Penny Motoring Curio 1968

Jon Nix — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:26:26 +0000

A very quirky item of motoring memorabilia which has survived intact from 1968. It's a "lucky penny" which was given to customers of Burncross Service Station in Sheffield prior to the tyre law change which came into force and required 1mm of tread on at least three-quarters of a car's tyres. An odd little thing, in very good condition and we can't imagine that many survived!

Please note: we cannot guarantee that this lucky penny will bring the purchaser good fortune...

Active in the early part of the 20th Century, William "Willie" Rawson (b. 1865. d. 1949) resided in Sheffield and was known for working mainly in the medium of drypoint etching. This particular piece depicting Anne Hathaway's Cottage is indicated as a "limited edition signed artist's proof". The back of the board retains the original label of the Boot's Picture Framing Department.

The artist has signed the piece in pencil. The frame measures 23cm by 31cm (9in by 12¼in) and both the print and the frame remain in good condition, with only minor signs of ageing.
