allowing each photograph to tell its own story

on a hexagon shaped stone base terminating in tripod hairy paw feet

There is wear commensurate with age to the mahogany

fuchsia pink and inky blue threads in the picture are fully in tact with no areas of loss or moth

with male and female figural masks as a King and Queen to the tapering stiles

Rein the proud steed

Other telltale signs included a ruddy complexion with the mouth and nails clotted with blood

Now we think more of French fries and Homer Simpson

The glass dome and wooden base are in superb structural condition and the specimens themselves are in also in very good preserved order with their colours still vivid

collected antique furniture and this table may have been her personal choice

The second slightly more bulbous vessel would have carried POT:BROM: - Potassium Bromide
