23 Antiques We Love This Month

In this monthly feature, we aim to take the hard work out of sourcing one-of-a-kind antiques. From a pair of French armchairs to a beautifully upholstered ottoman, here’s what we’ve seen and rate online.

Traditional Wooden Bureau

This William & Mary period walnut veneered bureau has a stepped interior with plenty of useful hidden drawers. Made around 1700, this decorative desk would look good in the corner of a bedroom or as a compact work area in a home office or study.

Scalloped Side Table

Useful, practical and charming, this unique Edwardian three-tier trolley with a scalloped edge and beautiful detailing is perfect for hosting or as a side table in an empty corner.

Lacquered Side Table

In using a high-gloss paint finish, By Alice is able to breathe new life into an array of vintage furniture. Here, this beautifully shaped side table has been transformed by Farrow & Ball’s StiffKey Blue. Ideal for a hallway, use it to add a gentle splash of colour to a neutral scheme.

Curved Sofa

This French Napoleon tub sofa, with its scrolled arms and turned ebonised legs, has been stripped back to its hessian finish. This one has a slightly rarer shape thanks to its curved sides, making it a snugger fit when sat at either end.

Nest of Tables

Made of brass and smoked glass, this nest of three faux bamboo tables are the ideal solution when you need an extra table or two. The on-trend detail on this 1960s design is in a beautiful, soft gold and the warm smokey grey glass softens the whole look.

Wooden Stool

This adapted antique stool has been covered in a printed blue-green printed cotton. Ideal in a living room, it stands on English Walnut legs and comes with the original castors. A solid piece that will work in either a classic or contemporary room.

Large Commode

With elegant proportions and featuring original brass mounts and a thick Carrara marble top, we love the bevelled edge and rounded front corners on this piece. Demonstrating later-period paintwork, the large-scale late 19th-century design would work with multiple interiors styles.

Open Armchair

The banding on the spindle arms and legs on this open armchair create a convincing painted bamboo effect. During the Regency era, it was popular to emulate eastern design, with plenty of furniture from this period combining British, Chinese and Japanese influences.

Pair of Armchairs

An unusual pair of 19th-century French armchairs, the mahogany frames are great quality and come with an iron back and buttoned detail. The high back also makes them relatively comfortable.

Side Table

This 1950s side table is a truly versatile item – and really well priced considering its age and condition. The tripod curved legs and spiralling top show off the lightness in the design – a lovely subtle addition to any space.

Dining Table

A late 19th-century preparation table with a long and narrow marble top, this would make a lovely dining table. One of the edges has a rounded-off corner and the other is flat to sit against the wall.

Available here

Pine Washstand

This antique Victorian pine washstand has been newly painted green with a wax finish – perfect for anyone in the middle of a bathroom renovation. It also comes with a lower shelf, small drawer and raised back with a shallow shelf.

Available here

Drinks Table

This stylish mid-20th-century, Italian rosewood and brass two-tier side table has brass trim around each shelf, a brass gallery on the top shelf and brass trim on all four legs. Perfect as a side table or drinks trolley.

Available here

Corner Armchair

A corner piece in superb condition, this 19th-century antique Morris & Co Sussex armchair has its the original finish but a new rushed seat. A generous size and featuring a turned spindle back rest, it dates from around 1870 but is in fantastic condition.
