Anyone into classic furniture

I'm glad too that this thread took off - you lot have some reaaally nice bits and bobs! I've a Robin Day Hillestak desk with a black top, similar to this, and an original Hille/ Robin Day Tricorne tray. Both covered in crud so no point photographing. An Ernest Race chair in the corner of the bedroom covered in clothes. Some enamel signs including a National Cyclists Union one and some enamel pub/ beer brand trays on the kitchen wall.

I'm also a (as a colleague put it - a "lamp-W-anchor") - if you can be ar$ed going on BBC Iplayer I'm the tool at 11:52 on the 'Shuttleworth 3' edition of the Antiques Roadshow with 3 of the 7 lamps I took along. A good return on them though!

We'll watch that next time we are getting on well enough to snuggle up in front of the TV, (which is a design classic but way too modern for this thread!).

This is my favourite estate agent website for property porn in the UK. Lots of modern gems.
We have sold with them twice, I wouldn't buy from them though!

To connect the thread to the community I bought the below sideboard (White and Newton) from @pete_mcc and later sold it on to @27motorhead as it didn't fit in our new house (sad face). I bought a lovely lamp to go in it's place though.

Lovely lamps!

Ha, also clocked that we may have the same sign too, this one? 👉
