Every once in a while a terrific rare piece comes in that needs a lot of work. Often in the winter you will see someone by the fire working on such a piece. A photo is attached of an oak Arts and Crafts stacking bookcase/desk combo, it was a mess when it came in, but it turned out great. Its the kind of piece we only come across every couple of years, so it was worth all the time we put into it. Lots of great china arrived this week including: an enormous quantity of cups and saucers, 84 piece Minton set-12 of everything, 59 piece Coalport Indian tree set, 49 piece H & K Tunstall set, Royal Doulton figurines, Wedgwood pill box, Parson Brown Royal Doulton ash tray, Nippon demitasse set, and some odd pieces. More arrivals include: a bunch of table lamps, 3 Moorcroft pin dishes, an assortment of crystal and sterling perfume bottles and scent testers, small jewelry box, collection of 7 lighters-3 Zippo, 2 wooden ladders, assorted gold, sterling and costume jewelry-not something we usually get, a cool rustic Asian hall table, Empire sideboard, Art Nouveau umbrella stand, unusual 19th century Art Nouveau bronze 6 light chandelier, rustic kitchen table, a lot of sterling silver flatware including a set for eight, assorted silver plate flatware and hollowware-which has been extremely popular lately, maybe its back in, and lots more.
