To carry on with the Summer (We hope!) and garden theme we have recently advertised a genuine Victorian Austin and Seeley hand carved Sundial
The Sundial is circa 1861 and was made by Austin and Seeleys of London and does have the original makers mark.
The patina on the Sundial is excellent created from many years of natural weathering outside.
The Sundial would be a great focal item in a garden or on a patio

As summer is rapidly approaching its time to get the garden sorted and ready for the BBQ weather that we have been promised!
We have recently advertised two lovely Antique York Stone garden tables with Cast Iron Bases, they would be ideal for entertaining on a warm summers evening
These large tables are ideal to leave outside all year round, and the patina on the stone will get better the more exposure it has to the elements
The tables are both functional aswell as decorative and would look great on a patio or garden terrace
Please click here to view the garden Table
We do also have some lovely Chatsworth Garden Chairs that work really well with these stone tables. View online now.

This week we have sold this lovely and very rare Boulton and Paul revolving Summer House, the Summer House was sold prior to being advertised!
The team at UKAA were in the middle of the Summer Houses refurbishment when we have an enquiry via our website and the rest is history.
The Summer House, circa 1920 sits on its original wrought iron wheeled base and can be turned to face the sun, this light weight mechanism is designed to be easily rotated with very little force.
We have kept as much of the original Summer House as possible, we have just re-felted the roof and the lead edge. The Summer House is ready to paint.
The team at UKAA are constantly refurbishing items ready to be advertised, if there is something you are looking for please do send us a quick email or call the office on 01543 222923.
We may just have the item that you are looking for.

Over the last few days we have very busy selling our Original Reclaimed Floorboards, so we felt we should let you know how we salvage, sort and store our floorboard that we feel sets us apart.
We only have in-stock floorboard that have been vigorously sorted so all nails have been removed and only the very best boards make the grade.
Before each order is dispatched we re-sort the boards and measure each by the inch with us discounting and chalking lengths that we would not be happy for you to pay for.
The floorboards that we stock vary continously, with widths usually in stock from 4 - 10" in tongue and groove and square edged. However our website is always up to date so please keep an eye out for updates.
Take a look at the photograph below of our Reclaimed Victorian Floorboards in dry storage.

We thought it would be a nice idea to show you how easy it really is to design and have a bespoke product turned into reality by UKAA.
We work closely with our clients to make sure their needs are met throughout the design process.
In general we start off with a chat via email or telephone and get a quick sketch drawn on to paper, take a look at how simple the drawings are below.
We can sketch out a design for you, although many people send us a picture of their own.
You can see however that no matter how simple or complex the design drawing is, the resulting product in real life always blows us away.
Here are two examples of designs on paper or computer and their resulting finished products. These are of a bespoke table base of the customer's own design with a zinc top and a bespoke butchers block that we made from reclaimed timber.
We have an in-house carpenter who works with a mix of traditional and modern techniques to produce the most authentic products from reclaimed timber.
Our Zinc and Copper tops are hand beaten and folded here also, with Dan being our chief table maker.
If you have a design in mind or simply want a chat of what we can build for you, please do not hesitate to call us on 01543 222923 or email us at info@ukaa.com
