19 Antiques We Love This Month

In this monthly feature, we aim to take the hard work out of sourcing one-of-a-kind antiques. From a pair of Swedish dining chairs to a classic mahogany sideboard, here’s what we’ve spied online...

Save To My Favourites

French Glazed Buffet, £850

This 19th-century glazed buffet deux corps is made from pitch pine. A good solid piece, still with the original glass and keys, it would work well in a cottage or low-ceiling room.

Available here.

Danish Lambswool Chair, £1,195

A fantastic armchair made in Denmark during the 1950s, this piece has been recently re-upholstered in lambswool. With a deep seat and gentle arm supports, it’s a rare example of Danish mid-century design at its best.

Available here.

English Console Table, £1,450

This small half-moon console table has been painted and carved, and would make a decorative addition to any hallway. We love the elegant tapered legs.

Available here.

Velvet Armchair, £284 (was £355)

This restored vintage armchair has been upholstered in a pale pink velvet with co-ordinating piping. With a softly curved back and carved oak feet, there are two available – rare for antique armchairs.

Available here.

Mahogany Sideboard, £750

A beautiful Georgian-style Edwardian mahogany sideboard in good condition, this stunning piece comes with boxwood inlay. Ideal in a sitting room, with a drinks tray arrangement placed on top.

Available here.

Iconic Armchair, £252

An icon of modern design, and specifically designed by Thonet in 1900, this armchair in black curved wood has a hand-woven mesh seat. Made originally in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic), it has since been completely restored.

Available here.

English Drinks Table, £335.94

The brass claw feet add quirky character to this English tripod mahogany drinks table. The scalloped edge is designed to safely contain decanters and glasses – perfect if you don’t have enough room for a drinks trolley.

Available here

Georgian Chair, £155

This carved country house Georgian antique armchair, with a newly upholstered seat, would make a lovely accent chair in a hallway or bedroom. We love how the pretty floral fabric contrasts with the darker wood.

Available here

Walnut Glazed Display Cabinet, £600

A beautiful compact Queen Anne-style display cabinet handmade in walnut in the early 20th century, this piece has stunning carved decoration details on the doors. Delicate in appearance, we love the cloud-shaped front with bow doors and tapered carved feet.

Available here

Handwoven Wicker Trunk, £434.74

This vintage Asian storage trunk in natural hand woven wicker comes in a Campaign-style design, featuring a wood frame and metal hardware. The hammered brass accents are decorated with Asian motifs, while the lid opens to reveal a spacious interior.

Available here

Rare Folding Chair, £245

This highly unusual and innovative bentwood chair can be easily folded flat. The canework on the seat needs some attention, but the mechanisms still work. Use it as a statement piece – ready for when you next have friends round to admire it.
