A Shropshire Lad!

Hello all!

It was over 120 years ago that a book of poetry entitled “A Shropshire Lad” was printed, and yet here on offer at Bibury there was photographed last month a charming snuff or baccy box. More unusual than many, this example being named, with the location too. 

Pop along to see if it can be added to your collection, or maybe start from here!

See you soon perhaps, our next vent is July 1st 2018.

Regards, Andy.

June is about to be! Time for tea?

I’m pleased to say our next Bibury Fair is this coming Sunday, 3rd June!

Why not splash about and pop by the River Coln, find us near the church, opposite end from The Trout Farm and Swan Hotel, but near Arlington Row. Inside the Village Hall will be a selection of antiques, and vintage items, including jewellery, silver, brass ware, glass, ceramics, and even a little furniture, and maybe a  few rugs too!

Refreshments will be served from just before noon, including some sandwiches and home made cakes, tea and coffee goes nicely with them in the sun outside, or on William Morris table cloths inside, depending on the weather!

Look out, we open form 10 am, close at 4pm too, as we may be seen sitting by the river looking for kingfisher or seeing how much the cygnets have grown since last month!

See you there?

Regards, Andy!

Just Play Your Cards Right!

Here I have a splendid card table, Georgian, around 1740.

Great colour and I have just waxed these fabulous legs!

Shown here closed, and the castors visible. This will be on show at Bibury Antiques Fair on May 6th. Play your cards right and delivery could be included in the price, depends where one lives I must say, but ask and hope!

Have a good weekend wherever you are!

Regards, Andy.

A Little Chesty?

Upon seeing a client the other day, and listening to them say about how they felt, made me come up with this headline!

Often having a cold or something which just won’t go away, some people say they are “feeling a little chesty!” 

Here I have photographed a miniature chest of drawers with locks too, although as yet not cut a key, but I’m sure it won’t be long before there is one. Measuring approx 13″ wide and 11 1/2″ tall, and 6″ deep, a useful item for all sorts of treasures to be stored inside.

Hope you like it, I do, they don’t come around often as nice as this, so please let me know if you are interested.

Regards, Andy.
