One ticked off the bucket list! A visit to Knossos the largest palace of the Minoan civilization on the Greek island of Crete. A Bronze Age society that created extraordinary art and architecture, so famous that it spawned the legend of King Minos, the labyrinth and the Minotaur.

FOR SALE. This has everything you would want from a provincial horse portrait! A beautifully depicted horse in a stable setting and even a dog. The painting is by George E Sharpe of Lincoln, a little known provincial animal artist who would have been commissioned by wealthy patrons in the Victorian period to depict their prize specimens. The work is in really good condition and retains the original bird’s eye maple frame. Available to view in detail at the website or open up a dm and let’s have a chat.

An illuminating visit to Wallace Collection in London. It is a collection of not only paintings and fine furniture but also great works in silver. This nineteenth century solid silver camel held my attention for a time, quite extraordinary, I’ve not seen its like before.

FOR SALE. I’ve always liked silhouettes, I’m not sure why, perhaps it’s because they represent real people and there is a great skill in the ex*****on. I really like this one, it’s a very individual profile of a known sitter (Susannah Hyde Gale 1749-1823 the wife of Admiral Alan Gardner, first Lord Gardner 1742-1809.) and painted by a highly regarded silhouette artist Charles Rosenberg of Bath. To cap it off it even has the original frame! What’s not to love. Available to view in detail at the website.

FOR SALE. This will not be to everyone’s taste but I think it’s just wonderful. Art Deco period, it shows a group of ladies chatting and joking. The whole has a green tinge probably to indicate a smokey environment. It appeals to me as it is just so unique and evocative of a time, it is dated 1929. Annoyingly there is an illegible signature but I suspect it is by someone rather good. Available to view in detail at the website.

A very interesting room at Canons Ashby, Northamptonshire. The servants hall originally built in the 1580s as a private family dining room (the winter parlour), it was later handed over to the household staff in the 18th century to use as their communal dining and working quarters but thankfully kept this wonderful painted panelling.

It’s been a while but here I am again having a little look at a current piece of stock with you all. This time I have chosen this beautiful and unusual piece of antique miniature furniture. A Georgian style mahogany kneehole desk but is it an apprentice piece, salesman sample or novelty toy?
