English Antiques

English Antiques differ very much from Chinese Antiques because they do not have a lot of painted details. English Antiques are very straight and structurally detailed. For example, there is a piece it is a 17th century Oak Candle stand. The wood is dark in color and it is very well carved. The furniture is well crafted and has such serious structure. There is a 1740 walnut elbow chair. The walnut wood is deep in color and has beautiful upholstery. Some of the time period pieces such as the George I Oak Hall Chairs, Queen Anne Side Chairs are very well made and differ a bit from other furniture that was made for common folks.

English Antique Paintings are a favorite because they have great colors and details. Some of the more famous paintings are made by painting on glass and English oil on Canvas. Some of the most beautiful paintings are Portrait of Joseph Lindley and South Mire House, Birkett Bank. There is one very detailed picture and it is called Portrait of a Man Reading, this picture was painted around 1851 and done oil on canvas.

Another great painting is called Village Street Scene and it was done by AH Vickers in 1880 in England. Other antiques that are not the typical antique, we have seen an 18th century 1870, pine baby crib to a 1795 Sterling and Pewter Mint Julep Cups. There are so many different varieties of the English Antiques that one of the best period periods is the Chippendale style Bench is bend has great gold upholstery and is dated early 1900’s. The padded seat fits perfectly over a 4 pedestal raised box seat. Very Beautiful.

Some of the kitchen accessories are just as nice. There is a beautifully crafted English Mahogany Serving Tray that has great design on the tray, it has brass handles and it clearly is an antique it is dated 1890. It really is amazing when you stop to think about it how old these pieces are and how they really don’t make details like this anymore.
