A very fine Victorian register grate with a fox hunting theme. The cast iron and brass insert conforms to the style of the Aesthetic movement, with the exception of the rare gilt brass panels, cast in high relief with a horse and rider, a stag, a fox, a retriever and a hound. A rider's crop and a huntsman's horn form part of the decorative scheme. Likely to have been a special commission for a country residence!

English, circa 1870.

A very fine and rare Anglo-Indian carved oak box settle in teak, very much based on the form of an Italian cassone. The back features three magnificently carved vignettes depicting an elephant fighting a tiger amongst palm trees, a ship at sea and lastly, a group of noblemen being drawn by oxen in a fine cart. These panels are bordered by a trailing vine decoration. The subjects would suggest a southern Indian, or possibly Ceylonese origin. The sinuous scrolling arms are carved to depict a mythical creature and they frame the box seat with a hinged lid, which has an elaborately pierced front panel.

Indian, mid 19th century.

An exceptional Gothic Revival stone chimneypiece from Woodchester Mansion. Carved from soft buff coloured Bath stone, this chimneypiece is a celebration of nature, with a floral undershelf beautifully carved in high relief. This rests on a frieze carved with five foliate panels. One panel is carved with a vine, the other a flowering lily, the central panel depicts two birds devouring grapes from a vine, the next, a British oak laden with acorns, and the final panel, a fruiting ivy.
This beautiful carving is surpassed only on the spandrels, where on one side it is carved with a grapevine, and on the other a serpent is shown within a fruiting tree, evoking the story of Eve. The jambs are deftly carved with floral paterae and grapevines over moulded footblocks.

This piece is an extraordinary survival from the unfinished Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire. By repute it was designed and made for the mansion but was never installed as the building project was left unfinished. AWN Pugin drew up early plans for this house, but the project was later taken on by Benjamin Bucknall. It is uncertain whether this chimneypiece was designed by Pugin, or was in fact designed by Bucknall, but it does share many stylistic similarities to the stonework throughout the rest of the house. Sadly after the patron of the project died, his Gothic vision was never realised in full.
