1An amber oriental figure of an immortal. (9.5in) - This appears to be amber and is warm to the touch. The figure is standing holding his staff with a dogs head and is holding fruit to his right hand. He is dressed in a foliate engraved kimono with a long moustache and beard. There is no signature or seal mark visible. An unusual piece. : £70-90 (Objects/Works of Art)

3A carved hardwood table lamp. (14in) - This is in the form of a baluster column, finely carved with tapering pointed panels of scrolling, having a concave neck beneath a leaf carved lamp holder.

It is decorated with boxwood stringing on square tapering legs with brass cappings and casters. It shows signs of old repairs, where the legs have been dowelled but a good clean table. : £200-300 (Furniture)

8A Victorian mahogany Scotch chest of drawers.

The drawers are mounted with ivory escutcheons with faux rosewood knob handles inlaid with mother of pearl medallions. It is supported on a plinth. The pilasters have applied acanthus carved mounts.

9A pair of crystal drop ceiling lights. (2) - These are 9.75in diameter with three tiers of pointed glass drops suspended from brass rings. The top ring has rope twist decoration to the border and the crystal drops are all triangular and almost all present. This suggests that they are 1930s examples with three tiers of clinking?

The pine base has been stripped in a tank at some stage and so it is without paint and looks very dry. The columns that support it are cracked but it is a solid, pegged structure and just needs restoration. All the iron mounts are there and original although the rails are possibly upside down.It is on a platform with cross stretchers which again are all complete and original with no woodworm so just needs painting and restoring. The legs look solid, the skin is peeling away showing the hessian in places particularly where the rider's legs have brushed against the sides. : £150-200 (Furniture)
