A lovely antique oak adjustable fire screen, the swivel panel embroidered with a trio of roses and trailing leaves, with plain fabric to the reverse. Measures 69 x 71cm.

Screens like this shielded ladies from the heat of an open fire, protecting the wax-based make-up fashionable at the time - hence the old nickname "complexion screens".

Good condition with just minor wear; there's a faint mark to the plain fabric on the back.

Edwardian to 1920s, English. A charming farmhouse-style or grandmillennial piece for an unused fireplace.

A vintage solid pine tea trolley with two shelves and turned supports, on four castors so it moves easily. Lovely as a tea or drinks trolley, kitchen storage, plant stand or display table. Approx. 80 x 50cm.

Tea trolleys took off in Edwardian and interwar homes, when a single maid - or the lady of the house herself - needed to wheel the whole tea service in at once.

Good vintage condition - clean and sturdy.

Vintage. A warm farmhouse-style or cottagecore piece.

A tall, slim teak tallboy by Meredew, with seven roomy drawers - a smart way to add serious storage without eating up floor space. Sculpted metal handles and slender tapered legs give it that classic mid-century look, and the original Meredew Furniture label is still in place. It stands a generous 118cm high, 60cm wide and 46cm deep.

Good vintage condition with the drawers running smoothly. There is general wear and light scuffing to the finish consistent with age, and one larger area where the finish has chipped away along the back edge - please see the last photo.

When Meredew's founder moved his furniture works from London to the newly-built garden city of Letchworth in 1914, he brought around fifty families with him to help build it.
