Edwardian roll top desk. UPDATE: THIS MADE 180 AT HAMMER
A hot Georgian wine cooler or a cool Edwardian desk? The choice is yours at Woodwards online summer auction in Cork on June 28. Well positioned each of these stylish antique pieces can add grace to most homes. Estimated respectively at €600-€800 and €400-€600 they are not particularly expensive and would have cost more 20 years ago.
Such is the sad state of the market for antique furniture. The happy news (if that is not a contradiction in terms right now) is that furniture like this does offer spectacular value. The sale at Woodwards is rich in such pieces like a Regency crossbanded tea table (€400-€600), a d-end dining table (€200-€400), a parquetry inlaid hall table (€200-€400), a Victorian walnut davenport (€300-€500), a William IV card table (€250-€400) and a Regency Pembroke table (€300-€600). Among other offerings are a large Persian rug (€500-€800), a five piece cast iron patio suite (€800-€1,200), a gilt console mirror with marble table top (€800-€1,200) and art including Vanity Fair Spy prints and Victorian silhouettes and collectibles.
