FURNITURE INDOOR & OUTDOOR

 

IN THE BOER WAR FROM 1899 TO 1902 it was the habit of British officers to have a washstand like this for morning washing and shaving. Most of these items were supplied by the Army and Navy Store in London`s Victoria Street. This is a fine example, made of oak with a beautiful, delicate, ceramic tile back. After the war many found their way into hotels and large houses. The marble top half is separate and can be turned over to make a smaller volume for shipping. Reference 3652. Euros 265.

THE SPLASH BACK tiles are among the most beautiful in delicate colour and graceful design I have seen.

OLD BENTWOOD BENCH. In much of lush India and Indonesia the tea bush has a productive life of about 30 years during which it provides the endless green tips which provide the world with tea. Then it is dug up with the lower branches and some roots providing the wood used in making a variety of furniture. It is useful at the foot of the bed, hallways, kitchens and even a gallery as a prop to show various draped textiles and rugs. Reference 4007. Size - Width 115 cms., 45 inches. Height 90 cms., or 36 inches and Depth 50 cms., or 20 inches. Euros 380.
