As the weather has been awful for the past couple of days the coats and umbrellas are back out.
The weather has prompted the team to advertise an Original Victorian Cast Iron hall stand.
The hall stand circa 1880 is an excellent example and would of been originally used to hand coats, hats and umbrellas.
There is a clear lozenge mark on the rear of the stand and the item is very sturdy and solid.
We have sympathetically restored the hall stand and finished with a couple of coats of brilliant white gloss.

Carron are now offering there exclusive Vintage Copper Finish on ALL their Cast Iron Radiators
The Vintage Copper finish is highly labour intensive but well worth it!
To get this finish we need to hand paint each individual section of the radiator in a specialist copper paint, the radiator needs at least two hand applied coats and then we apply a reactive agent to get the amazing Vintage effect. The finish is exclusive to Carron Cast Iron Radiators, cheaper paint finishes are available but this layered effect defiantly has the wow factor.
The image below is of a Victorian 760 that we have in our office
Please call the office on 01543 222923 and we will be able to quote for you or you are most welcome to come and view and see this finish in the flesh
