Woodpecker Desk Set by Franjou
A cute spelter and marble deskset, signed by the French sculptor Franjou. The base measures approx 9 inches by 5 inches and is 7 inches in height. The spelter bird and inkwell have a bronzed patina and the bird appears to have glass eyes. The base is of white striated black marble and cream onyx. Condition is good with just a few minor nibbles to the marble edge. The inkwell is missing its liner and has possibly had its hinge removed, as the lid just sits on the inkwell. More pics available on request.

Spanish Cocktails Set
A very stylish cocktail shaker/jug, 6 matching metal goblets and a matching tray, all with lovely butterscotch celluloid handles, and initialled ES. The shaker measures 9.5 inches (24cm) high and the tray is 12 inches (31cm) in diameter. Condition is very good with just a few minor surface scratches and a few dents to the tray, barely noticeable.
This item was recently hired to the BBC for a programme on Art Deco architecture, filmed at Casa Del Rio, Devon.

Ronson Pik-a-Cig Monkey
These cigarette boxes were made by Ronson during the 1920s and 30s and are rare and sought after by collectors world-wide. This particular model is the rarer two-tone monkey version in cream and black, with the actual box in cream and red enamel. The base is the usual black enamel and is in unusually good condition as most are rusty and pimpled. Squeeze the levers at the front of the box and the monkey swings over to grab a ciggy. In the front of the monkey is a lighter striker wand. Condition is very good with just a couple of small dents to the enamel and some minor pimpling to the base.

Snails Paper Weight
French chrome family of snails mounted on wood base measuring 7 x 3 inches (18x8cm) and designed originally by the French cartoonist Benjamin Rabier. Possibly originally an escargot set, in good condition with just some minor marks, scratches and wear to the larger snail shell - but not bad.

Shargreen Celluloid Case
Swedish shargreen effect celluloid notebook case measuring 5 x 3 inches (13x8cm) and with a silver plated floral and leaf logo in metal and a book of paper inside. In excellent condition with minor scuffing to the back.

Large Wood Vase Signed
French hand carved wooden vase of baluster form with carved pine cones pattern, measuring a large 12 inches (31cm) high and comes with its original glass liner. Condition is very good. I also have a large carved table lamp of similar style (L979).

Pilot Radio
Unusual Tesla Talisman Czech brown bakelite radio. It measures approx 12 inches wide by 7 high (30cm x 18). In working order and set to 220 volts. I also have a red one the same as this (M1433). Condition is very good.

Chrome Picture Frame
Rare romantic themed chrome picture frame with 3 picture sections and to each end a 2 dimensional flying bird holding a love heart. It measures 12 inches wide by 4.25 deep by 9 high (30cm x 11 x 23). Condition is very good, the chrome is clean and un-pitted. The rear card panels to the frames are probably replacements. Currently showing a deco lady print to either end and a photo of Clara Bow to the centre. Email me for more pics quoting ref number.
