English antique furniture is more than a sum of its parts, but the parts are often varied and different so that the whole seems disconcertingly complex.

It is great furniture that appeals to me—it has to be special.

Please browse, ask questions and, best of all, come and visit. I guarantee that you will find great beauty herein.
