With the onset of a New Year, thoughts turn to new beginnings for yourself and for your home, and the temptation to unearth a good bargain in the sales can be irresistible. Courtesy of an unusual source, bargain-hunting homeowners, interior designers and collectors are being offered the opportunity to purchase fantastic quality antique furniture items, unseen for decades, via the modern medium of an Online Warehouse Sale from established antiques dealer, Butchoff Antiques.
The combination of tradition and modernity extends to the items themselves; many are perfect for decorators and designers wanting to blend heritage with contemporary styles, and with pieces ripe for restoration (which can be arranged on request), there are some unmissable ?upcycling? opportunities.
Butchoff Antiques is a traditional family company that has been trading for nearly 50 years, with a large showroom on Kensington Church Street, and is renowned for excellence in antiques. This online venture is intended to bring quality antiques to a wider audience, whilst streamlining the family company?s extensive five-warehouse collection. Prices will be below market value and, unlike at auction, there will be no additional buyer?s premium to pay.
Owner Ian Butchoff, one of the founding members of LAPADA and a member of BADA, says: ?Our excellent restorer teases me that if I never bought another item he would still be busy forever, but I am a squirrel and a magpie and its time some of our vast inventory was put back onto the open market. It is an opportunity to buy some great pieces at keen prices. Most have never been in our showroom and all have merit. It is exciting to have the opportunity to address people?s changing buying habits with our own on-line sale.?
Noteworthy items in the sale include a Bonheur de Jour featuring jasperware plaques, ebony and thuya (c1870), mahogany and brass jockey scales by Henry Pooley (c.1850) a pair of corner cabinets by John Watson of Oxford Street (c.1880) and a beautiful Syrian inlaid chair of sandalwood and ivory (c.1850). Three of the more unusual pieces for sale are the pair of Blackamoor Torchere Stands (c.1870), an oversized Gentleman?s Club postbox (c.1860), and large Brass Birdcage (c.1860).
Butchoff Antiques
Located on Kensington Church Street, London?s premier street for antiques, the Butchoff Antiques showroom contains over 3,000 sq ft of some of the finest quality English and continental furniture, mirrors, and objects in the UK. They also specialise in pieces from the Great 19th Century Exhibitions of Art & Industry, and some of the great cabinet makers of the period, including Holland & Sons, Wright & Mansfield, Jackson & Graham, Gillow of London & Lancaster, Linke & Sormani.
The warehouse sale will run until the 15th February 2013. It will be accessible via the Butchoff website. Information and progress on the sale are also being provided via Twitter and Facebook.
