896A nineteenth century mahogany Hepplewhite style elbow chair. - This I would suggest is a turn of the century chair, a copy of an eighteenth century pattern. It has good provenance. It has a pierced fan-shaped splat with foliate carving interlaced with two similar shaped ovals forming a shield with channelled edges. The arms have acanthus carved terminals, and tapering shaped supports carved with harebells. There is a stuff-over upholstered seat raised on square tapering channelled legs joined by rectangular stretchers. The seat upholstery is distressed and the back has been repaired and has a bit of 'give' in it. It has been a very good quality chair, but it does need 'work'. : £100-150

The third boat is 6.25in long and we presume came from the same factory as it is modelled in the same manner as the Grace Darling boat, only in miniature. It has flowerheads and roundels on the body and the oval keel base. This model is a little bit rougher finish-wise, but there are no apparent chips or breaks. : £80-120

There is another polychrome example, which is unmarked, but would suggest circa 1900. The tail of this one has been repaired, but its cover is intact, as are its gilded horns. The last creamer is in a brown running glaze with gilded tail and horns. It lacks a cover and there is slight rubbing to the gilding, but otherwise it appears to be perfect. There is no makers name.
