The Esher Hall Antiques and Fine Art Fair – 7th -9th October-adfl.co.uk

The fair is full of treasures on every stand including an important and immense George I period walnut wing chair from Parkside Antiques, priced at £45,000. Bearing the date 1722, when the building of Britain’s first Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole’s Houghton Hall in Norfolk was first initiated, this chair bears striking similarities to the furniture commissioned, designed by Thomas Roberts, including the unusual hoof feet. Parkside Antiques is a mother and daughter team, Priscilla Daniels is a furniture restorer and upholsterer of early furniture and her mother, Patricia Daniels deals in early glass and porcelain. Patricia Daniels is bringing a rare Chelsea fable saucer depicting ‘The Leopard and the Wild Boar’ for £5,500 and a Chelsea teapot and cover from the raised anchor period, c1750, priced at £7,500.

Other items of furniture to look out for include a set of six Chippendale period mahogany dining chairs, c1760, selling at £15,000 and a George III period mahogany tray-top commode stamped Gillows of Lancaster, £3,000 both from W R Harvey & Co (Antiques) and a French kingwood and ormolu writing desk, c1860 from Lennox Cato Antiques for £8,000, exhibiting with The Edenbridge Galleries.

Exhibiting in Esher

The Edenbridge Galleries are under the ownership of Lennox and Susan Cato who have traded in fine antiques from the next door premises for the last thirteen years. Through their drive and enthusiasm they have created a one stop shop for those interested in Fine Art, Antiques and Interior Design. The galleries are beautifully displayed with each room showing a wide variety of stock from the various dealers who exhibit here.

We also feature the services of renowned interior and garden designers Mrs Monro Ltd, who are avaliable for consultation and advice within the galleries. They also offer a range of fabrics as well as small decorative items.

Walter Harvey is still actively involved with the company whilst his son, David, is the Managing Director. Harvey’s specialise in fine English antique furniture dating from the reigns of Charles II through to George IV. We were initially based in Chalk Farm, London where we also had our restoration and conservation departments. We then expanded to gallery premises in Old Bond Street in order to provide an unparalleled service to our constantly expanding international clientele. Harvey’s Georgian showrooms at 86 Corn Street, Witney

In 1996 we moved from London’s Mayfair to our charming and spacious Georgian property at 86 Corn Street, Witney, Oxfordshire, where we are now able to display our outstanding stock of period pieces in delightful room settings. We have also recently moved our conservation department to Witney where it is personally supervised by David Harvey.

After over half a century in the business of antique dealing, we have acquired a splendid collection of quality items ranging from cabinets to clocks to beautiful works of art. Within our showrooms you will find excellently preserved pieces dating from the reigns of ten monarchs. These include items influenced by designers from William Kent to Thomas Hope, and produced by such craftsmen as Gillows of Lancaster, Chippendale, Linnell and Vile and Cobb executed in timbers as diverse as oak, Mahogany, Walnut, Satinwood, Rosewood and Kingwood

Whilst our main specialisation is fine English furniture of the 17th century, 18th century and early 19th century, collectors will also be pleased to know that we always have a wide range of smaller items in our showrooms. This includes china, glass, brassware, silver, pictures, paintings, engravings, boxes, snuff boxes and other small objets d’art.

Visit our showrooms in Witney, Oxfordshire, and you will find authentically decorated rooms displaying our stock of English antiques to their very best advantage. Indeed, our showrooms are so convincing that you would not be surprised to see Mr D’Arcy standing by our fire or Tristram Shandy stepping in through the door. An outstanding range of stock, backed up by our unsurpassed knowledge of English antique furniture between 1680 and 1830 makes a visit to W.R. Harvey & Co a necessity for every serious collector.
