RETRO FINDS OF THE WEEK.

Dear All

Sharing with you  my latest finds of  the week.   Some nice surprises in the form of  marble top tulip table, french wing chairs and grand marquetry writing table. Quite a few retro pieces turned up to my delight. They will be beautiful once restored as all of them are of solid teak. A few have been taken up by walk in customers. Some  are still available. Most of them will be sent out for restoration next week and will be ready by mid September. Let me know if you like any of them.

My favourite find of the week. Tulip marble top table in excellent condition. 

Is it the real Saarinen table?  I think so judging by the quality of the marble 

and the fine workmanship.  Taken up Mr and Mrs Law who love it the minute

they saw it.

Another favourite find of mine. This truly retro piece appears

 like once in a blue moon nowadays. Reserved.
