Pair of Bamboo Ottomans

Italian Serving Tray and Stand
A generously proportioned serving tray, this 20th-century Italian design has its own stand, so you can use it as a static drinks trolley or side table. Think of it as a glamourous European take on a butler’s tray.

Hungarian Pharmacy Cabinet
Made from solid oak with a glazed top and panelled doors, this is a perfect example of a Hungarian pharmacy cabinet.

It also comes in two halves for easy delivery and assembly.

Pair of Slipper Chairs
Need to dress up a bay window? This pretty pair of slipper chairs are raised on front-reeded legs. One dates back to the mid-19th century; the one on the right is a later bespoke copy. Regardless, both are in excellent structural order and have been finished to a high standard, plus they’re ready and waiting to be upholstered.

Carved Shelving Unit
This decorative shelving unit is flanked with barley twist supports and would make a lovely addition to a kitchen corner, bedroom wall or home office. It’s in great condition with little age-related wear and tear, plus there are several places you can attach it to the wall.

French Faux Bamboo Drinks Cart of Brass and Glass
This vintage French rectangular bar cart table or serving trolley is made of brass and features two glass tiers, with bottle rack on the lower one. Resting on casters, the larger back two wheels also come with a spoked design – perfect for use as a side or end table.

Antique Scalloped Victorian Sidetable/Washstand
While this piece was once a washstand, it could now work as an elegant bedside table or accent piece in a hallway. There are a few signs of wear to the top, but otherwise it's in great condition considering how old it is.
