Furniture

A lovely tiled back kauri pine was stand. the tiles on this piece are just fantastic....12 in all. Also has a beautifully carved pelmet and turned legs on castors. I would say this is c1910. One of the side arms need to be repaired. If you are handy with a jigsaw this is not that hard to fix. The wash stand is 145 cms high (nearly 5 feet), 122 cms wide (4 feet), and 57 cms wide (neraly 2 feet).

A stunning early West Australian jarrah dining table, with drawers at both ends. This table is c1880, and looks very much like the early jarrah table displayed in the book "Memories", showing Lord McAlpine's collection. The table is 161 cm x 88 cm x 74 cms. In all my years of collecting this very type of furniture, this is one of the best tables I have ever seen...shows so much character and retains most of its original patina. I have taken a photo of a page in "memories" showing these tables for your comparison.

This is a RARE FIND and will make an excellent investment...It may seem expensive to the uninitiated but early jarrah colonial furniture is some of the rarest in the world as the population of the swan river colony in 1860 was only about 3000. Lord McAlpine say this potential and tried to corner the market by buying almost anything available.

I have an exciting colonial c1880 jarrah dresser (solid wood) coming soon....stay tuned.

A lovely small blackwood pedestal wine & games table, inlaid with huon pine and cedar. Tables like this are becoming extremely hard to find, and this one is also inlaid. Stands 71 cms tall, with a tavble diameter of 40 cms. This is a little taller than most wine table because it is also a games table as well. In very good condition.

Cedar wine table decorated with a huon pine sunflower. This is not an antique but does have some age...might be from the 1950's ?? The table is in very good condition, stands 54.6 cms, and has a diameter of 37.5 cms.
