Focusing on :
French Faience,
Jaz clocks & other clocks
Antique Victorian Prints & Graphic Arts HELLO AND WELCOME! SOYEZ LE BIENVENU!
This the place where you will find interesting pieces of French faience (Desvres, Quimper and others). We have now replaced the Forester & Harley Jones with a clocks page - a fresh interest for us. (See paragraph below.) We are very keen on Jaz clocks of all kinds and also similar clocks from other clock makers. We have for some time now devoted a page to Victorian prints. This has now been extended to two pages.
We will still have for sale at the fairs we stand at, our Derby porcelain, Brownfield jugs and other pieces plus some Doulton Lambeth items. We also sell coffee grinders, eye-catching brass items and some glassware (though not featured here).
NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!
The clocks page is now complete. There are a number of small Jaz clocks and other manufacturers are also featured. We have two clocks by Japy and one by Bayard. We currently have two marble and onyx Art Deco clocks with garnitures and a Waltham aircraft clock which has been handmade into an unusual desk set with calendar, complete with Bakelite dip pen (now sold).
A general photo of part of our collection is below to whet your appetite!
New items have now been put up on the French Faience pages - so why not have a look?
We now have two pages, in addition to our links feature on the last page, dedicated to vintage Victorian prints and articles of especial interest. These could also be loosely described as Victorian paper ephemera and prints, examples of graphics art/advertisements, vintage paper prints and antique Victorian prints. They are all produced by various photoengraving processes, both black & white and colour. More details on the page itself.
Fairs
We now stand regularly at local fairs in the East Midlands where we live.
You can meet us at Jaguar Fairs, at the University of Derby and also at the Pavilion Gardens, Buxton.
Our next fair at Derby is the weekend of the 9th & 10th January 2010 featuring clocks, French faience, pottery & china by William Brownfield and glass items fresh to the stall. N.B.THIS FAIR HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE SNOWY WEATHER. Our next fair at Buxton is the weekend of 30th and 31st January 2010. If you would like to visit us at a fair, please do get in touch beforehand so that we make sure we take the items you are interested in.
