“ There’s no back door to a sinking ship except the life-boat “ … no truer word! An original printed flyer for the annual life-boat collection, first organised in 1891 in Manchester, it became a popular fund raising event from then onwards. This flyer was printed in Aberystwyth, Wales, so the event was probably the local one, dating to around 1900, presented in a modern frame.

A lovely vintage painted wooden wall mounted plate rack, with slots for 14 plates, top shelf, and three useful rails at the bottom for hanging plate towels. Probably dating to the early / mid C.20th, it’s roughly painted in an attractive light buff green colour, very sturdy with notches worn or cut out at the top and base of the front spindles, probably to allow large plates to fit. The gap is 30cm, so good for larger sized plates.

A lovely late C.19th / early C.20th oil on canvas still life, slightly naively painted with flattened perspective and warm tones. Presented in its original frame, and showing a little wear in places which doesn’t detract from the overall feel of the piece.

Back open today, and just in a lovely mid C.20th light oak chest of drawers, beautifully proportioned with clean lines and nice minimal detailing. Very solid and useable, a little smaller than conventional chests and with its lovely light oak finish it would work easily in many interiors. C.1950

SOLD Found this lovely piece on a recent trip across the Irish sea, a C.19th Welsh chip carved sycamore butter stamp. In the rare form of a paddle, this example is double sided, with a large and small geometric mold patterns on either side. The surface is dry and untreated, as found, with beautiful wear from years of use, with some rust colouration around the central hole where it probably hung on a hook or nail. Also, very faintly due to the wear, a hint of initials on one side of the handle, possibly “ BR “ or “ DR “? Some similar examples are in the National Museum of Wales, a lovely piece of folk art.
