Come and say hello.
I've been working on a gilt fish chest of drawers this week for a customer.
There's a clothes shop in Bond Street Brighton that has one of our gilt and fish chests in the window. They bought it several years ago and its used as a prop for their lovely clothes. Sometimes people manage to track us down after falling in love with it and commission us to do one for them It's a huge amount of work, but its worth it as the finished piece can look stunning. The first one I worked on I had on my stand in an antique centre in Arundel. now La Campanula Restaurant. A mother and her grown up daughter came in and in very Sloane accents here's the conversation I stood listening to:
" Oh look Mummy do look, I love this chest it's gorgeous."
"Dahling," says Mummy in haughty tones,
"I think its absolutely ghastly."
"Dahling," says Mummy in haughty tones,
"I think its absolutely ghastly."
Ha ha but never ignored...here's the work that goes into that absolutely ghastly piece.

Arundel looks stunning at this time of year
I'm still walking, not every day but as ofte as possible.
Here's a little trip around Arundel Park and down to Swanbourne Lake.
So don your walking shoes and come along......
up through town and into Arundel Park
This is the end of Swanbourne lake
just beautiful.
It was Ardingly this week
We had a great day at Ardingly antiques fair on Tuesday.
We bought well.
So well, we had to return to collect more pieces
on Wednesday as the van was stuffed full.
Weather was so gorgeous it wasn't exactly a chore.
Here's a few of the pieces we have at present......
