Furniture

Just ticking over!

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello again.

This week has been an interesting one so far, and one of the projects I have been working on is an oak longcase clock.

Here is the movement just ticking over in the background as the case gets some improvement to the very dirty and more than dusty surface! Sorry, should have mentioned, the movement is signed “Geo Jackson, Gainsbro” 

This will be on show at our next fair, October 1st. We open from 10am, and close at 4pm.

Refreshments are available from noon, and I (and several others) really enjoyed the coffee and walnut cake last month!

Call in and say hi, or sign our visitors book, it’s great to see where people travel from.

Regards, Andy.

Cheese and Biscuits Anyone?

Hello again!

I thought this may interest you, a great cheese jar from Harrods.

Well, just having finished supper, thought this was appropriate, although the cheese I am eating now came from Cheshire, and not in a jar either. Very nice though!

Why not come along on October 1st to see if it’s still for sale before the cheese is bought?

Have a good weekend.

Regards, Andy.

Weighing up the results!

Hello!

Well, it rained pretty well all day yesterday but this didn’t stop visitors enjoying the fair and buying little treasures to take away. No sooner had I photographed a charming Scandinavian silver salt in the shape of a longboat, someone saw it and it sailed off to a new home.

So, all in all, weighing things up, it wasn’t a bad day! On the subject of scales, here is a set which were on show.

Have a good week!

Regards, Andy.

Hello folks!

Well, here we are again! Doesn’t that sound familiar? Just to let you know that John and Andrew are back with us again after a little break, so why not call in and see what new stock they have, along with our regular dealers.

We open at 10am on Sunday 3rd September, and close at around 4pm. Refreshments are served from around noon, and include sandwiches, tea, coffee and cakes! Hurry, or I’ll get there first!

Here is a photo of John’s stall a few months ago, when he was last with us.

Regards, Andy.

Watch Out!

Hello and Happy Friday Folks!

Should you have time on Sunday 6th August, and happen to be close enough to visit us in Bibury, Gloucestershire, we will be on show from 10 in the morning, to 4 in the afternoon.

Why “Watch out!” ? Well, just because you may well find a few timepieces, and here are some which most likely will be able to be seen on sale soon! Hope you have a good weekend, wherever you go, but it could be even better in Bibury!

Regards, Andy.

Gee Up!

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello again, What is all this then?

Aha! Well, “Gee up!” pronounced as it sounds, used to be a way to get people to “Get a move on!” also for horses too as I recall, I don’t hear it much these days, but I smiled when I was cleaning this, a small jockey with his winnings, yes 10 thousand Guineas!

So, why not ride over to Bibury this Sunday and see what we have on offer? Open from 10am to 4pm, with refreshments, , or as I say “Coffee and Cakes!”  from around noon. 

See you there? Regards, Andy.

Fruity Friday?

Morning Folks!

Coffee time and oranges for morning munchies anyone?

Remember these at the market, they should be on show at the next Bibury Antiques and collectors fair, on Sunday August 6th. They make excellent shelves for display, or kitchen storage etc!

Not our usual style, but fun! Pop along to see us with some lovely jewellery, glassware, silver, pictures, rugs, furniture and maybe a clock or two!

Afternoon refreshments available too!

Thanks, Andy.
