Oak Glastonbury Chair in the style of Pugin Arts and Crafts Victorian

Jon Nix — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 16:14:43 +0000

An outstanding Glastonbury chair of undetermined age but firmly in the style of A. W. Pugin. The chair has impressive bulk and dimensions, with an uncompromising relation of form and function which reflects the Pugin original and other examples of this quintessential piece of English furniture made during the Arts and Crafts era.

We cannot, as is often the case, be absolutely sure of the age of this furniture - it may be Edwardian or a later copy. Having said that, this Glastonbury chair appears to be of aged condition, with wear and tear to be expected with an item of some age. In this case, the wear and tear and ageing of the wood only adds to its look. Even if considered to be a reproduction then this chair should still have substantial (pun intended!) appeal.

The author Frederic E. Weatherly is responsible for writing the songs "Danny Boy", "Roses of Picardy" and "Holy City" as well as being the author of the first work featuring signed Beatrix Potter illustrations. Henry Horatio Couldery was a noted artist and illustrator, famous particularly for his works depicting cats, dogs and other animals in mischevious and characterful manner.

The book shows signs of age and some general yellowing/foxing to the paper, but considering its age it is in remarkably goodand solid condition.

Original Victorian / Edwardian Turned Wood Door Knobs

Jon Nix — Fri, 25 May 2018 09:32:29 +0000

Of unknown age but most likely Victorian or Edwardian due to their styling, this pair of original turned wood door knobs - with shaft, screws and washer, but no backplates - are in good condition with wear commensurate with age and very nice patina / colouring. The knobs match but there is some difference between the two in terms of wear and fading, which should be noted. They have been cleaned and given a clear BriWax finish.

Each knob has the following measurements:

Length: 5cm (2in.)
Maximum Diameter: 5cm (2in.)
Minimum Diameter: 2.5cm (1in.)

The shaft is 1/4 in. square in profile (6mm) and measures 10.2 cm (4in.). The holes in the shaft allow the knobs to be between 1 1/4 in. (3cm) and 2 1/2 in. (6.5cm) apart.
