Malcomson's Teapoy
 
So what's a Teapoy you ask? Well, I have to give Chris credit on this one. He found them when researching the Tunbridge ware style or form. This form has much decorative inlaid woodwork, typically in the form of boxes. This was characteristic of the town of Tunbridge Wells in Kent throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The square pieces make a mosaic or pictorial vignette as does this one copied from Thomas Barton, circa 1850. The procedure is quite difficult, but results in a beautiful piece of furniture. In this particular piece, the ebony boxes can actually be lifted out! Please click on picture to enjoy a magnified view.

Gooch Dresses Up?
 
This Louis XV Coiffeuse or head--wig dress table circa 1755 played a prominent role in French culture. This was a period when both men and especially women were into the "Wig Craze." Sometimes called a Liseuse because it doubled as a reading table, this version, made from mahogany, has beautiful cabriole legs and ormolu tips. Notice, too, the checkerboard pattern that enhances it beauty. Please click on the picture to enjoy an enlarged version.

Malcomson's Nonsuch Chest

 
The "Nonsuch" Chest is found as far back as Tudor Times. It was called this because it was unique in that its carvings represented something that no longer existed, such as, one of Henry VIII's building projects, or because it was inspired by the Nonsuch House, an elaborately decorated house towards the south end of the old London Bridge. This unbelievably magnificent Nonsuch Chest dates back to the Renaissance Period, circa 1551, and is reflected in its perspective marquetry panels containing hundreds of little pieces of tiny exotic woods. This piece is finely carved depicting unique scenes with acanthus scrolls of Roman origin, a key and key hole and delicately pierced hinges on the lid.  Please click on picture to enlarge it. Orders only as there is a waiting list.
