A rare early 19th century leather dog collar & chain Revenue Police, Kent
Posted by admin On September 30, 2024
An early 19th century leather dog collar and lead with the brass plaque for “Cosher” of the Revenue Police, Dovor (sic). During the early 19th century the old spelling for Dover of “Dovor” was still in use. References to the Revenue Police in England are extremely limited with extensive research showing very little documented. There was a Revenue Police in Bristol, another port, but little documentary evidence is available. It seems as though an English Revenue Police would have assisted in the Excise at the time, although documentary evidence is sparse. An extremely rare, probably unique piece in excellent condition with the original very substantial chain. England, Dover, Kent, early 19th century.

Rare Antique Early 19th C English Pillar Floral Chintz Cotton Fabric Brown Red
Posted by admin On September 29, 2024
I had a wonderful opportunity to acquire a gorgeous collection of early 19th century, circa 1820’s chintz. All English printed for the American market. A prestigious fine collection from a New England collector. I’ll be listing them all in separate listings. This listing is for a sublime early pillar floral chintz. Roller printed & hand block printed. Pillar prints are highly collectible & this is truly a stunning example. The scale is large. Please zoom into all the lovely elements as it is beautifully created. Very overcast today so not certain my photos do this outstanding piece justice. Appears in lovely condition for it’s age with a hint of mellowing to the early hues & some surface patina. Excellent for many authentic early period projects & quilt repair, cushions, framing, possibly a cover for a stool or similar etc. And excellent in a collection or archive as these are all very rare survivors. So early & so hard to find. Measures 23″ wide by 35″ long. If desiring the full panel, please enter a quantity of “2” & you’ll receive a length that is 23″ wide by 70″ long.

I have a 30+ year long & extensive knowledge of textiles and gauge age ranges; fiber content etc.. To the best of my ability. As always please view all photos, dimensions etc.. As they are part of the description. Please keep in mind that I provide the best photos possible but monitors do vary. If my eyes should miss a small flaw, please know it is not intentional.
