🧡 Beautiful French Rococo Style Fan/Display Stand, circa 1850

❓ Very finely carved with the typical rococo ornaments, including rocailles. Still with the original gilding with beautiful old patination. 
❓ You can place a fan between the two glass sheets so you can see both sides of the fan, without touching it. Overall in very good used strong condition, with beautiful original old patination, no missing pieces.

❓ In the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution enabled the mass production of paper and printed fans. By the 19th century, this mass production devalued standard hand fans, prompting art circles and prestigious fan-makers (like Duvelleroy and Alexandre) in London and Paris to organize exhibitions that elevated masterfully crafted fans as fine art. To showcase these masterpieces in polite society, ornate display stands emerged.

❓ Throughout the 19th century, hand fans served as essential tools for social expression. Popularized by marketing campaigns and the Victorian obsession with secret codes, the “Language of the Fan” transformed fans into captivating conversational pieces. Displaying a fan in a prominent stand on a mantelpiece could signify a lady’s romantic conquests, allegiance to certain cultural trends, or personal memories.

❓ As travel increased, fans evolved into popular keepsakes. Wealthy tourists on the Grand Tour and visitors to international exhibitions frequently purchased unmounted fan leaves or beautifully decorated folding fans as mementos. Displaying these pieces on dedicated stands allowed owners to share their travels and cultural sophistication with visiting guests.

🧡 Fine George III Copper Measure, dated 1800

❓ Fine quality antique George III copper measure, having a quality antique original George III copper measure of cone shape with a shaped handle to the back.

❓ Georgian copper measures were primarily used in pubs, taverns, and large estates to measure and dispense liquids like ale, cider, spirits, and milk. Known for their durability, these sturdy, hand-hammered vessels featured specific stamped capacities and official government inspection marks to prevent fraud.

👉 They served several specific, everyday functions:

❓ Serving Ale and Cider: Known as “haystack measures” due to their broad-bottomed, tapered shapes, these were used in inns to pour and serve quantities ranging from a half-pint to multiple gallons.

❓ Estate and Dairy Operations: Large copper jugs and buckets were essential in country houses and working farms for measuring, pouring, and processing milk and cream.

❓ Military Dispensation: Specialized lipped funnels and copper measures were used to dole out portions of raw rum and mixed grog to sailors in the Navy.

❓ Heating and Mulling: Specialised measures called “mullers” were designed with long, hollow copper handles and pouring spouts so ale or wine could be heated directly over an open fire.

☀️ What was this specific copper measure used for in the 19th century? Answers on a postcard (in the comments) if you can shed any light…

🧡 Lockable Antique Pine Dresser With Mirror - bursting with character

❓ This item has been stripped, repaired and restored, while retaining and probably adding to its patina. The top has been dismantled, reassembled/ re glued/ re fixed using period methods where possible. The mirror enclosure has been dismantled, stripped, cleaned and re assembled. The whole piece has been slightly stained using a linseed oil based stain containing chromes only as would have been the original finish.

❓ The piece has been newly waxed using several layers of a combination of hard wax, beeswax and linseed oil. This has brought out the grain flower as you can see on the photographs. This also gives a very close approximation of the original finish for its period but also adds an element of hard wearing ability.

❓ As you can see there are 2 keys currently in the locks that lock all draws.

👉 By the look of the work, methods of construction and the condition of the timbers and type, it’s estimated that this item could be 100 - 150 years old, potentially dating back even further.

🧡 Historic French 16th Century Cannon Ball - 15lb - Circa 1545

❓ At first glance, this piece doesn’t look like anything special. But look closer, and it’s actually a fascinating chunk of British (and French) naval history!

❓ The Battle of the Solent, on 19th July 1545, is one of those events in history that had the potential to be very important, but is pretty much unknown. Indeed, many people who live near the Solent probably would never have heard of this battle on their doorstep if it weren’t for the loss of the Mary Rose, and her recovery in 1982.

❓ This cannon ball was recovered from the Solent in 1984 showing some damage. It was reputed that a French cannon ball sunk the Mary Rose - not the English account at the time -so this is in fact a very rare and important historical item. Perhaps even it is the cannonball which sunk the famous English warship… a must for any naval historian or collector.
