FIREPLACE SURROUND

A striking late 19th-century Victorian pine fireplace surround of handsome architectural form. Crafted with fine details, the frieze features a central tablet depicting a horse-drawn chariot scene guided by cherubs, bordered by delicate scrolling swags and classic urn motifs. The mantel frame is flanked on either side by impressive Corinthian column supports, complete with acanthus leaf capitals, resting on substantial block feet. Its stripped pine timber finish showcases a rich natural grain alongside fine craquelure detail on the applied decorative elements.

Condition: In good antique condition with age-appropriate wear throughout. Solid and sturdy overall, with light historic losses and wear to the timber along the rear edges as photographed. There have been cuts to the bottom of the fireplace where it was placed around a skirting board. Ready to serve as a stunning focal point.

TURKMEN CUSHION

An antique Turkmen chuval cushion, repurposed from a hand-woven tribal cargo bag (chuval) originally crafted by nomadic Turkmen weavers of Central Asia.

The face of the cushion features the iconic, highly structured geometric gul (tribal crest) medallions. These are intricately knotted in a classic colour palette of deep crimson, rich madder reds, jet black, and warm ivory, with subtle forest green accents. The top seam is bound with a heavy, hand-braided dark cord, preserving the utilitarian ruggedness of its original tribal form.

In nomadic life, chuvals were prized storage bags hung inside yurts to hold clothing and household treasures. The generous, wide proportions of this piece reflect that heritage perfectly, making it an incredibly impressive, large-scale bolster or floor cushion.

KHORJIN CUSHION

Jaf Kurdish Khorjin Cushion. This cushion has been crafted in-house from a late 19th-century Northwest Persian khorjin (saddlebag) face. The front features a textbook masterclass in the weaving traditions of the Jaf Kurd tribe: a rhythmic, polychrome diamond lattice field. The palette is a testament to antique natural dyes, displaying rich madder red, deep indigo blue, oxidized forest green, and warm ivory, capped by a charming checkerboard-style kilim selvedge preserved along the top edge. It has been finished with a high-quality, complementary new backing and generously stuffed with a luxurious, heavy wool interior insert.  Due to the bespoke manufacture of the piece, the cushion cover is not removable or washable. Dab clean recommended, with a warm rung out cloth.

CHUVAL CUSHION

Large Turkmen Chuval Cushion.

This impressive, oversized statement bolster cushion has been newly crafted in-house from an authentic antique Central Asian textile. The face was originally a late 19th or early 20th-century Turkmen Chuval (or Juval)—a large, hand-knotted wool storage sack woven by semi-nomadic Tekke or Yomut tribes to secure valuables inside their tents or during camel migrations.

DRAW LEAF

French draw leaf provincial fruitwood farmhouse table. It features a classic draw-leaf mechanism, allowing two extension leaves to slide out from beneath the main top, significantly increasing its surface area for entertaining.   There are visible old wood worm tracks (treated) and various timber patches/repairs, particularly around the breadboard ends and leaf joins. The table is structurally sound, though the extensions show some natural gapping and unevenness typical of early draw-leaf mechanisms. Overall a charming table.

PITH PORTRAITS

A charming and complete set of twelve 19th century Chinese pith paper paintings (historically referred to as "rice paper" paintings). Dating from the late Qing Dynasty (c. 1840–1880), these works were created in the studios of Canton (Guangzhou) specifically for the Western export market. Each miniature leaf is painstakingly hand-painted in gouache, a medium that sits on the surface of the cellular pith to create a luminous, almost three-dimensional effect that remains remarkably bright over a century later. The collection serves as a record of the period, featuring a diverse cast of characters including high-ranking officials, musicians and figures in courtly life. The set is housed in the original Victorian-era cardboard presentation box with a glass lid. The gouache pigments remain exceptionally vivid and saturated. As is characteristic of this fragile, organic medium, there are some natural fractures and peripheral chips to several of the pith sheets (as shown in the photographs), six of the twelve portraits have had repairs to the back . The original box shows typical age-related wear to the paper trim but remains structurally sound and provides excellent provenance.
