Small Vintage Writing Bureau Handpainted in Dusky Black

This is a lovely small example of a Edwardian writing bureau.This is an older piece and has  had a rich and varied life up to coming into our hands and being updated in a lovely coat of jet black eggshell paint by Craig and Rose. The top and drawer front has been gently sanded and oiled to bring out the beauty of the grain. This is a great piece if you haven’t quite got the room for a really big bureau but you need a really good storage solution.

Dimensions are;

Width - 73 cms 

Depth- 37 cms

Height- 94 cms

Sewing Table

Just to let you know the sewing table has arrived - it needs a bit of a loving touch but I’m delighted with it! The delivery was as smooth as could be - the man let me know his progress and was polite and helpful when he arrived. Thank you very much, keep doing the good work. Love my sewing table!

Very happy with drinks cabinet

We have installed the Mahogany Chippendale Show Cabinet today! I have attached some photos of it in situ. We are planning to have a photoshoot in a few weeks where it will be dressed with glasses etc. I will be sure to send some more over then- it’s going to be a showstopper! It is a very beautiful piece and we are really happy with the purchase.

Great human beings. I miss this type of service.

Honestly, I wish I could give six stars because five just doesn’t feel like enough! (I never give five as there’s always room for improvement.) But I genuinely can’t think of how they could have done this better. In this day and age, you’re lucky if people even turn up, so this level of service was a breath of fresh air. The sellers were absolutely superb—they personally delivered the chest of drawers, blanket-wrapped for extra protection, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The piece itself is stunning. The rich Aubusson Blue, the jungle-inspired details, and the gold accents all come together beautifully. You can tell a lot of care went into restoring it. I’d love to have more pieces like this to match and complete my home.

Brilliant service, amazing design work that is so aesthetically pleasing—couldn’t be happier. Thank you.

Upcycled small dining table

Absolutely love my table. I live in a Victorian building with a narrow enclosed staircase. The seller unscrewed the top from the legs for me so that it could be carried up the stairs. Everything was perfect.

Beautiful Gustav Klimt inspired Chest of Drawers

Fabulous piece of bestpoke bedroom furniture to add to my special collection. The Kiss mural design by Klimt is an iconic statement piece and I adore it. Excellent communication and customer service by the team and great fast courier service. Packaged and handled with great care. 5stars.

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
