Our Weekly Roundup of Newly Listed Antique Furniture & Other Items
Welcome to our regular roundup of newly listed antique furniture and other interesting, unusual and collectible items.
This week we start with a fine Vintage Portable HMV Gramophone Mod 102 that is offered for sale at £375. Ideal for enthusiasts or for those looking for an unusual decorative item or topic for conversation. This model was still being produced right up until the 1950s and produced a much admired standard of reproduction in its time.
Showing hardly any signs of use, this model is in good condition and does, of course, bear the characteristic label showing the HMV mascot, “Nipper” the dog, listening to the gramophone. This image is originally derived from a painting by the English artist Francis Barraud, A.R.A. entitled “His Master’s Voice”. Get more details here.
Next up, dating from around 1780, is this Antique Dutch Marquetry Mahogany Bombe’ Bureau which is decorated with some truly fine examples of marquetry and would be a distinguished focal point for any home.
