CLASSIC LINES<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The new slimline Chesterfield design from Sofas & Stuff is a refresh of a classic. Influenced by an antique sofa from a house in Norfolk, the new Holt range has a squared, buttoned back, and gently curved arms to cocoon the sitter. From \u00a32,673. <\/em>sofasandstuff.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n

POTTERY & PORCELAIN
When handling pottery or porcelain, be careful to hold it by the main body, not the handles, and if you want to attach a lid more firmly use Blu Tack, not Sellotape, which can damage decoration<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

THE ART OF NATURE<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

House of Hackney\u2019s new eco paint collection takes its cues from the natural world, with shades of minerals, roots, rocks and berries translated into gorgeous colours including Orpiment, Madder, Jadeite, Azurite and Dahlia. \u2018Taking care of mother nature is at the heart of what we do, so our new paint collection is an ode to her everchanging colourful ways,\u2019 says co-founder Frieda Gormley. The Art of Nature paint comes in two finishes \u2013 eggshell and emulsion \u2013 priced from \u00a339, and every tin sold enables House of Hackney to purchase and protect 35 square metres of forest in partnership with the World Land Trust. houseofhackney.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

UNDER THE CLOCHE<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Lovers of Victorian-style gardening tools, rejoice! Left languishing, long-forgotten in potting sheds and at the bottom of gardens for decades, few original cast-iron and glass cloches from the 19th century have survived in good condition. But, thankfully, Claverton Cloches manufactures and sells new versions. From \u00a3395. clavertoncloches.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

WOVEN TOGETHER<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Roger Oates Design has collaborated with A Rum Fellow to create the company\u2019s boldest and brightest collection of flatweave runners and rugs yet. The union explores global representations of colour as a form of expression, reimagining traditional weaving and embroidery techniques to find a shared creative identity. A woven diamond pattern is at the heart of the collection, which has four designs in 10 vibrant new hues. A favourite is the Morella design in Amber, with its earth-toned stripes and orange dots. rogeroates.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

CELEBRATORY VESSELS<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Antiques lovers and fans of artist Debbie George\u2019s work will be doubly pleased that she\u2019s created paper Pottery Bunting featuring six decorative jug designs. You could save the bunting for a celebration (the Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee, perhaps) or string them up as a permanent display along windows, bookshelves, dressers and mantelpieces. \u00a310.80. cannsdownpress.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

FUTURE HEIRLOOMS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Designers at John Lewis & Partners have delved into the archives and come up with a new collection that mixes influences, eras, patterns and shapes, including the incredibly popular \u2018bobbin\u2019 detailing on furniture. The Heirloom Collection embraces our current love of pattern and colour, and features more coloured furniture options than ever before. johnlewis.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n

NEEDLE WORK NEEDS<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

A new collaboration between The Tolstoy Edit and fabric artist Natasha Hulse taps into a renewed appreciation for the handsewn, with appliqu\u00e9d lampshade designs inspired by a 19th-century Russian Paisley textile and the back of an Uzbek Aina Khalta. \u00a3765. <\/em>thetolstoyedit.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n

WHAT TO SELL NOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LATE VICTORIAN JEWELLERY <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Condition is key when buying anything at auction, especially when it comes to pieces of antique jewellery. Recently, we have had the pleasure of seeing some beautiful examples of late Victorian diamond brooches come in for valuation and subsequent sale. This style of brooch has a timeless appeal, and might have sparkled on a jacket lapel, at the neck of a blouse or on a woman\u2019s evening dress. As jewellery tends to be, they are often passed down through families who are unaware of their worth today and the impressive prices they can fetch at auction. Last September, at our Fine Jewellery sale, a late Victorian silver and gold, old-and rose-cut diamond crescent brooch made \u00a32,680, and a late Victorian silver and gold, old-cut diamond star brooch sold for \u00a33,700. If you have a brooch of similar quality, you could have a nice little nest egg tucked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT TO BUY NOW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018TOY\u2019 TEAWARES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

From around 1750 onwards, young women of good families were bought miniature china tea and coffee sets, to practise the art of hosting; an important ritual in the social life of the times. Pottery factories made \u2018toy\u2019 versions of their full-sized services, so that the \u2018little Miss\u2019 of the household could make and pour beverages from pots made of porcelain, creamware, pearlware and, later, bone china. As tea-drinking took off in the mid 19th century, the manufacture of these sets proliferated and many Staffordshire potteries added them to their order books. At auction, you can find pieces of toy teaware for \u00a320 upwards, with even rare pieces in the low hundreds of pounds. At Halls, we recently sold the Enid and Bruce Moulder collection of children\u2019s antique teawares, which included a Rogers pearlware toy tea service, c1815\u201320, sold for \u00a340; a Davenport teapot, c1840\u201350, which made \u00a3170; and two sprigged English pearlware teapots, c1800, sold for \u00a350. Antique toy teawares are inexpensive, and look lovely when displayed together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
