I was asked by Boisdale Life Magazine to contribute a few thoughts on the market for Antique Furniture. My thanks to Ranald Macdonald of Boisdale Restaurants and Harry Owen of Boisdale Life for allowing me to bang the drum in print.
Pease print off a copy of this or by all means contact me and I will leave a ticket on the door.
Selecting stock for the forthcoming BADA Fair, I was struck by the timelessly romantic nature of many objects which I am fortunate to have through my hands.
Of course, some objects are obviously romantic, such as the pretty early 18th Century love token in the form of a scroll work picture depicting a Castle in a garden still glowing with colour. In the same vein is a truly beautiful Boulle Mirror, undoubtedly made for a lady at the Court of the Sun King, with it's poignant message that the greatest beauty lies behind the image reflected in the glass.
