Pragotron factory clock

A bit of communist Czechoslovakia here I found at Ardingly. This clock, which is 33cm in diameter would have been connected to a huge mother clock. The mechanism has been professionally replaced by a high quality, high torque, German quartz movement. Its case and face are made from Bakelite. Very industrial.

Leather bridge chair

Beautiful 1930's bridge chair. The leather's really worn but all in one piece and looks great. I'm keeping this for a while!

Wooden Davenports crate

Perfect to store bottles of wine or beer in. Adds a bit of personality to the kitchen.

Ercol chair. Getting better with age.

I found this chair in a little shop that no longer exists down Holloway Road. The owner had about 50 of them but this one had the best colouring and grain. Compact and solid, this classic English chair looks great in the corner of the room or tucked under a desk.
