Extremely Rare Large-Scale Antique Tinplate. Pendent from a silk hanging loop, a wonderfully crafted decorative model. The elegant, shaped balloon has been constructed from six panels hand painted alternating green, red and gold. From this is suspended a wonderful circular gondola via a. Complex web of silk cords. The detail is marvellous. The edges of the gondola have been carefully rolled to. Avoid sharp edges and a fine mesh has been applied to the outside to simulate basket-weave. Inside are three charmingly two-dimensional figures carefully cut out of. With streaming scarves suggestive of a windy day. Their applied pointing and gesticulating arms, well convey. The excitement of the sightseeing passengers. Condition is good although the paint is certainly what one would call. This is often the case with tinplate of this age.

Large Antique Solid Oak Coffer Chest. Period Oak Country Antique Coffer is of pegged construction. Which has a name and the date of 1731 carved at the base. Also has a later candle box. We believe the carved name and date would probably be of a much later date to the coffer as was so often the case, this would therefore make this a much earlier piece, and seeing its construction and the oak planks age could well be as early as 16th Century! Amazing period antique still has its original hinges to the lid above a detailed carved panelled front. This charming antique Oak Coffer stands on raised feet and is beautifully aged and with good patina. It has a large internal space. There are signs of old historic woodworm throughout – this is long gone and has been fully treated as a precaution. It has also been cleaned using a traditional form of antique wax finishing to feed the wood. This item is in the category “Antiques\Antique Furniture\Trunks & Chests”.

George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936. Benjamin Richardson, born 1802, Stourbridge, Worcestershire, Eng. Died 1887, founder of one of the great English glass-manufacturing houses, who was instrumental in the introduction of modern glass-working methods to England. Richardson’s Stourbridge factory was the first in the country to have a threading machine for making filigree glass and the first to make mass-produced pressed glass tumblers. The factory pioneered in the use of pressing machines for decorating flint glass with relief ornaments. His firm also became one of the leaders in producing cameo glass for commercial sale. The blue-and-white Roman vase was considered one of the most beautiful pieces of glassware ever made and the finest surviving example of Roman cameo glass. The first successful replica of the vase was completed in 1876 by a former employee of Richardson’s, a local glassmaker named John Northwood q. , but it was not made for Richardson. Richardson is also remembered for his efforts to reduce the cost of manufacturing quality glassware, thus rendering it accessible to the general public. The Richardson family have a complex history. Richardson began at Hawkes & Co. But left & joined up with W. Richardson taking over Wordsley Flint Glassworks (fnd 1720). Richardson joined with Thomas Webb I (1804-69) to become Webb & Richardson. The Wordsley works became W. The works closed in 1852 despite success in the Great Exhibition, due to financial difficulties but reopened within a couple of years by Benjamin Richardson. He formed other partnerships; Hodgetts, Richardson & Pargetter (1836-69) Hodgetts, Richardson & Sons (1871-82) In 1887 his concerns were taken over by Benjamin Richardsons grandsons becoming H. It was acquired by Thomas Webb & Sons in 1930 & the firm was operated from the Denis glassworks which finally closed in the late 1960’s. The Richardson label was used until the 1970’s. Benjamin Richardsons energy & experimentation combined to the partnerships he formed led to the rebirth of English glass. This has earned him the title of’Father of the Glass trade’.
