Antique Four Pedestal Dining Table
A large antique dining table standing on four pedestals each with four splay base. This table is a very fine example from one of the best periods of British cabinet making. It has a really fine run of timber with excellent grain pattern. The bases are a good strong construction but designed with delicacy of line which belies their true weight. The turned vase shape column is pleasing to the eye and the turning is sharp. The four splay legs on each pedestal are lovely and long to provide visual as well as actual stability. There are built in lopers so that only one member of staff is needed to install or remove the leaves. The tops can tilt on the bases or can be removed entirely so that the table can be easily moved from room to room or outdoors as necessary. This is a very fine looking and versitle dining table which is very good value for a table of this period size and quality.

Twenty Two Dining Chairs
This set of twenty two antique dining chairs comprise two very similar sets of chairs, one is a set of fourteen (twelve singles and two carvers) and the other a set of eight (six singles and two carvers). These two sets of chairs are so similar in design and construction that they must have come from the same maker and may have even been made for the same house if the provenance is to be believed. Both sets of chairs are beautifully made and are a generous size for the period. They have very fine carved detail including an eagle head to each of the upper corners of the back and the front of each arm of the carvers.
English circa 1880 £85000
Provenance: The chairs are reported to have been made for the Debenham family of Debenham House, Addison Road, Ladbroke Grove, London, one set around 1870 the other 1880-1885 to a circa 1785 model illustrated in Lenygons.

Pair of Antique Armchairs In the Manner of Ince and Mayhew
Very fine pair of antique armchairs, desk chairs, library or possibly dining chairs in the Hepplewhite style in the manner of Ince and Mayhew.
This pair of chairs are one of the most pleasing designs we have seen for a long time. The arms are especially well drawn with a wonderfully organic shape, a dip for the elbow and a concave front which allows them to be pushed close up to a library table or desk.
The front legs and stretchers all have finely carved fluted decoration, there is stringing to the front panel and the back rest is perfectly proportioned with a twelve spoke wheel inside the six spoke outer. The stringing which follows around the back and the arms is very fine indeed. The more these chairs are examined the more the design and proportions stand out as something very special indeed.

Circa 1910 Copper Saucepan by J & E Gaillard of Paris
Wonderful early 20th century pan made by J & E Gaillard of Paris. The Gaillard family were one of the very best copper pan manufacturers in France and this is a very fine example indeed. This pan is tremendous weight and the shape and size of the handle is exceptional. However it is the rivets which really catch the eye, they are massive! On the inside of the pan they are hammered smooth to the surface which really is something to think about considering the size and weight of the pan. This is a commercial weight (extra fort) pan which was made for the kitchens of the Metropole Hotel in Paris. The stamp for the hotel is clear to see and there are also some other stamps which say "25" and "GRAND". The Gaillard stamp is a little indistinct but it is a good one because it says "J & E GAILLARD PARIS 81 Faubourg St. Denis". This is one of the stamps from when Jules and Emile were working together and dates the pan to period from 1903 to 1918.
Some say that this is the best period of Gaillard manufacture and the thick copper, large handle and huge rivets attest to this.
This pan does have surface marks, scratches and small dents, but overall the condition is very good, especially for a pan made for commercial use. The interior of the pan has been relined by professional tinning company and the pan has not been used since. The weight is thought to be around 4kg or 8.5lbs, but the scales used are not accurate.

Set of Twelve Dining Chairs by Gillow
A very fine quality set of 19th century dining chairs made by Gillow of Lancaster and London. These chairs are made from a beautiful cut of gonçalo alves timber and they have a generous shape to the back rest, a deep sweep to the back legs and crisp carving throughout. This is the classic design from the Gillow book and very rarely available at all and especially not in such a long set as this.
